I don't get it, apologising for expressing her personal feelings? That can't be right, we are 'a democratic country' and in terms of our Constitution, 'every person shall have freedom of speech and expression'.

I accept your apology and all but your age says u shouldn’t even be involved in this project😌😌😌

The HONORABLE thing to do...RESIGN...

We don't need an apology but a resignation letter qha

Your apologizing because you were heard by the whole country but you really meant it

Udikiwe..just resign then you can rest at home.

It too late Mama.

Would she be fed up if the staff had the correct stuff before it became an emergency? - if she were doing her job properly before the pandemic

SindiswaGomba you can't apologize for being yourself. You should be tendering your resignation coz you can't take the heat

Apology accepted don't do it again

Inadequate people in positions they knos nothing about

Dan Plato: Cape Town is caring for the homeless despite rampant political campaigning - The Mail & GuardianWe have honoured President Cyril Ramaphosa’s request to put aside politicking and wish opposition parties would do the same, writes Cape Town mayor Dan Plato. Only if they can go the same for all government initiatives meant for public benefit. Instead of just opposing for the sake of opposing I wish the ANC would lead by example!! Lots of cheap publicity stunts and handing out parcels to ANC voters!!!
