Ekurhuleni mayor Mzwandile Masina has decried being persecuted for mentioning Cuba when he advocated for the city to procure a Covid-19 drug two months ago.

"I spoke about a drug. I said any other we can find, including one from Cuba. I don't think I should be persecuted for mentioning Cuba," Masina said.

This after, in his state of the city address in March, he said they proposed using the municipality’s emergency funds “to procure the vaccine Inferon B from Cuba”. Waters accused the mayor of spreading fake news that there was a Covid-19 drug and gave the perception the residents would get the vaccine from Cuba.
