ZWELI MKHIZE: Why the Covid-19 lockdown was needed and how it workedAs lockdown levels ease, South Africans should still persist with safety protocols and help bolster their community needs Well, it would be the very first time anything, ever, has worked under the anc. Still is needed.Recent numbers co sign. The death total is nothing as a %. So look at stats and study it. PS 58 million and 13000 cases = 0.0002% who have tested positive. And 250 deaths out of 58 million = 0.000004%

Curbing outbreaks: Zweli Mkhize on what next in SA's fight against Covid-19Health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize says that his department has got the most out of the lockdown and that the current risk adjusted strategy is about buying time for South Africans to adjust to the new normal. Covid19SA That is all good and well,but who is curbing the 'security force' from stomping on us. A lockdown is meaningless and useless if you have thousands queuing to get SASSA and food packages we have idiots in charge that cannot leverage the 4th industrial revolution to keep social distancing That's an incontrovertible veracity. SA would've been severely devoured by this unprecedented attack to humanity. However, profiting from the knowledge we garnered on Covid-19, we've got to continue sternly with all precautionary measures and adherence to regulations.

Zimbabwe extends national lockdown, to continue on level 2In an address to the nation on Saturday, Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa said the country will continue on level 2 lockdown to enable the country to further strengthen its response to the pandemic. Why do we not assist Zim in this time of pandemic ? Under lockdown 2. I wish media to report news freely. Citizens will be free to hold protests without harassment. After COVID 19 government will provide services to citizens. Citizens will not run from their own country, but stand their ground against oppression. Just my wish.
