By Friday afternoon, the Free State had 84 cases of Covid-19. The latest official figures from government showed that 67 people who attended the meeting tested positive.The department of health believes that those who tested positive had contact with at least 1 600 other people.

I'm sure his face would be there if he was white... now he is black man, he is a sample of death virus... can we simple see those whites in Western Cape.

Churches are now a dangerous place to go to

Sad sad news. Oh city press u never learn.

God doesn't protect anyone.

The corona from that’s gathering is very potent.

May his soul rest in eternal peace

My condolences
