barrybateman How did they test and get result(s) within 1 business day?🙆🏾‍♂️

RK_Mayekisa Besi yaphi Bawo?

Maybe we should charge people that travel from 1 country to another without first testing for covid with attempted genocide.

Spare a thought for the driver whose only sin is to try keep a job during these trying times.

Guys buphi ubuntu this could have happened to anyone there South Africans who are somewhere not able to come back home. These are older people shame thank God they got help. No one anticipated this tourists bring money home unfortunate Covid-10 happened.

On the other hand they ignore our lockdown rules

These foreigners are killing us... Diz p must stay in thier high infected countries

Lets get the facts before relying on “exclusive” hype. Please comment enca?

Cyril must be accountable of this nonsense! Why allowing tourists?

Cyril is telling us to stay at home but allowing tourists with corona to flock here nxxx!

kulanicool The German government must bring us respirators then because it's people are infecting us

JamaKandaba Why do we still have tourists this days, they should go back to their country

And?

I need more info please!!! i was on a plane from PE to DBN sitting next to Germans, that were on they way to St Lucia

People still don’t want to be in conspiracies ah neh? How are these tourists still here? Most importantly... why are they going to public hospitals? And I don’t mean it in a elitist sense... but honestly? Why?

barrybateman When did they come in? I trust it’s 3 weeks before all the regulations were promulgated

Why is this a news? Why..is it scare mongering tactics?

So their friend was tested positive a while ago but they thought its a good idea to wait and only test today

barrybateman When do we start charging them with treason. Honestly can't be moving around freely ka Di corona but dololo repercussions. And also charge the people who let them in and didn't enforce quarantine

Must be terrible to be stuck in that bus, broken down for an hour or two! 💀😩

I work at the airport for Lufthansa and swiss airlines yet we have never been tested at the airport nd we arrive this Germany airlines on a daily basis

Sisenjeni shem

My question here, how long did the driver/s transport them? And should the company be held responsible for his medical bills, family financial support etc. If he succumbs to this disease? Are they not supposed to report the no. Of tourist and isolate them at their hotels?

I give up!

tebza_kale That hotel must be shutdown and everyone who helped them to come and tour in this trying times. They must all be charged with murder

So we still have Tourists in this country roaming around freely?

Ba fike kanjani la? MbalulaFikile

Paldron What were they still doing in SA?

Can the Government just fucking arrest these people!!!!

HeidiGiokos Please quarantine them and sent them back home

How did they come in? Kanti aren't we supposed to have banned travel ?

Why there’s still tourists in time like this and why they not in their rooms during that time?

Why are there still overseas tourists in our country. Honestly!

Shoot on site

grimmsdottr Don’t worry about 1 tourist. Go and look how many will not comply in SA and are spreading it. So much for the SANDF.

Why didn’t they leave when the travel ban was issued ? Why are they still in our country, this is selfish and inconsiderate!!

'let him go' send him back home.

Our leadership is useless,useless,useless..

Group trip, German tourist, what's wrong with our government?

I don't understand why they didn't make arrangements with their agents for early departure as soon as they heard that the President has announced a total shutdown. Now who is at fault.

But for sure they notice that we will have lockdown, what was there reason behind and they must be investigated .

Why these people who keep going up and down are still aloud to come here? It is obvious that they want SA to be infected deliberately.. Why are they still aloud to come here?I wish Ramaposa can answer that..

Send them home

naledikhumalo Haybo ayivaliwe kanti ikhawntri MbalulaFikile kusenama German tourist, avelaphi.

We need more details of where this people have been. Not their identities just where they have been.

This is so tiring kanjani. Kanti why can't people stay in their own countries? Also ungene njani? Mxm

If these German pple were black pple from zim or moza, you could have shown their faces on tv. Now that they are whites, a certain laws apply to protect their 'dignity'.. It just got me thinking that by the way 'All pple are equal, but some pple are more equal than others... '

Tf😭😭😭 they should just go back to Germany

TsikiMabala Arrest them

Eish! We should have ordered all foreigners to go back home last week!

How do u say it is not known how long this tourists were in the country. To start with they were found in a hotel vehicle? Who is being protected here?

Soyenzani I mask🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️..

_MissNeke Is that his face

Haibo lana eSouth African siyoke sibe ne privacy nini njengo mndeni sihlale sodwa njenge zingane zala ekhaya? 😭 Hlezi kunama zai zai azihlohlayo

Where were they going? Garden court staff must be quarantined😩😩😩 this is such a mess!!!

Cant wait for this to help us close our damn border post and not allow just anyone in

Send them to Bara hospital for treatment!

missdanti

Who opened the country 4 them?

Theymust swim

Ncncncnc Tourist 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

But why are they not indoors? It's a free country indeed

Why are they still here now they went to lenesia ?like that when corona jumps from rich ppl to poor 😳😳 the traveling agency must be held responsible emagine ,if they went to Vilakazi street in Soweto and many places y'all know🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ what that means

What were they still doing here 🙄🙄🙄 send them home please

This is the bus they were traveling in correct? XoliMngambi jus saw it by the Metro Police in Selby now 07:45am it has a Garden court hotel sticker

I think Government should also lets us know: How Many Blacks & Whites are infected. We all know that Whites brought this to SA but it will also be good to know the stats. When you apply for Finance they want us to tick if you are Black or White, En Now...

Why are this people still traveling kanti, why, why, why. So careless of them, damn.

Europe flights are dangerous!

The Immigration Datestamp will tell you how long they’ve been here. Can you send me a photo of their vehicle please.

This bus looks similar to the bus that was traveling in Eastern Cape, carrying German Tourists, it passed Mtata and the police in Mtata chased it out of Mthatha and it travelled on N2 to Kokstad. They stoped at Kokstad Mt Currie where they refreshed. That was on Tuesday

Ba ngenephi to start with ?

Such nonsense is man made‼️‼️

This is disturbing 😳😳i blame the hotel

Why are tourists still allowed in the country?

Pinetown Nazareth doesn't have water supply for three days now. How are we going to survive without washing our hands, this is disgusting

HeidiGiokos Its merkle and the circle replacment plan, all africans must go to europe via sea and all Europeans must come to africa via air thus completing the replacement circle

SA is banana republic, these people still come here to spread the 🦠

I heard on one of your stories an MEC say that the epicentres in Gauteng are Bedfordview and Sandton. Why are they not saying this more often and louder?

Why are we still shocked at Europeans testing positive for corona?, why is he even in the southy

Why do your blur their faces out on the news? But our people at our taxi ranks are not given the same consideration?

Probably around to spread the virus

FOH, why are they coming here? 😕

Lock them up!!

While we're locked indoors now it's a good opportunity to send everyone back to their country of origin so that after this 21 days we can start afresh and build a new south africa for all its residents

barrybateman Now how do you find all of them for tracing who they came into contact with?! Imagine all the hotel staff and other guests etc Must be impossible to trace all of them :'(

Mxm

This is a perfect example of the arrogance of people wrt the Lockdown Regulations and the CoronaVirus

We are in trouble😯😯, please send them back to their country

What the hell!!!

barrybateman Garden Court branded tour bus......

Uzengani lana lo satane nxah

This country is a joke on its own
