'We can all play our part to ensure that this rise in infections does not turn into a third wave,' said health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize

Health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize said on Thursday night that 21 districts in seven provinces had seen a more than 20% average increase in cases in the last fortnight. Though some of the districts had low numbers of actual cases, the “significant rise in percentage changes should be taken as a serious warning”.

Mkhize acknowledged the concerns around the possible importation of the B.1.617 variant now dominating in India, where more than 300,000 cases of Covid-19 have been reported daily for upwards of a week. “Therefore, we have no need to panic about the B.1.617 because, as with any variant of the coronavirus, the treatment is the same and the way we prevent spread is the same,” he said.

Close our borders

Then lock Gauteng down contain it there

When are you stepping aside minister?

Close the borders!!

This 'We' is a misnomer. Every single South African has played their part Mr Minister. Despite our people being beaten up and jailed for trivial covid transgressions. Your part was to get us vaccines. Instead it looks like you're going to enforce a lockdown instead of vaccines

I’m kinda tired of playing my part Mkhize- how about your ANC lot play yours

The 3rd wave is deliberate. Why doesn't the government ban flights from India?

It is the start of flu season; it is inevitable that will rise.

Abramjee Ban Indian tourists for heaven's sake

Bring it on we will defeat it with traditional remedies

Abramjee Sibambisane njani ningasimameli Thina esisemazingeni aphansi,phela Nina nimamela oruperts,no Oppenheimer

Except the government does not want to play its part and restrict travels by people from India where the infections are very high. Lol, this guys are so lost.

Abramjee

👀🙄

Talk to Ramaphosa to ordered that elections must continue in October 2021

ThuliMadonsela3 Too late , don’t you think ?

You must barn flight to and from India wena maaan!

Enough with warnings, close the borders and impose lockdown restrictions.

Close borders

Mxim

Minister u confused how come u said we must relaxe bt the Covid is in Durban even the first case came in Durban plz tata make a plan we are afraid of the third wave😭😭😭

DrZweliMkhize how about pulling your finger out and getting the vaccination program going? How incompetent you guys are. HealthZA COVID_19_ZA PresidencyZA

LadyTebs Yet we are still on a clinical trial, no vaccine rollout. We have still not addressed Indian travel. Peace officers are nowhere to be found in the enforcement of lockdown restrictions! They only surface when alcohol is banned. I guess it’s true - it’s all in our hands !

If you were proactive but then

You allowed people to come to our shores from India for your hoax 3rd wave. Niyadina!

Yes vaccinate the people. We just hear about the vaccines but nothing happens

Weve head that b4, when u messed up.

J&J / Pyser / Astra Zenica... Have a vacine that prevents almost all Covid deaths... Doh!

And yet STILL we wait for vaccines!!

This article show just how GovernmentZA fail people everyday. These stupid politicians shout go now

Sifike kanjani LA futhi. You should have closed boarders long time. Your time is up. Pity the President is also useless.

Then maybe just do your job and start vaccinations

Because I'm a husband and a father, this is hard for me to do but we're struggling and I've run out of options. Please assist my family with tinned food or food nearing their expiry date. If not for us then go our two daughters. We're able to go days without food, they can't 🙏💔

The sad truth is that we’re in your hands

Yeah, we can vaccinate people.

Close the borders then moron , everyone coming in from india what do you think is gonna happen ?

Ramaphosa us scared we not gonna listen to that hogwash Corona we hitting the streets Cyril is going, comrades in Pretoria when starting your thing halls at me your boy Pioneer.

This guy must fuseg, he told us not to panic while we had only 2 cases, now he is still talking same shit again

ThuliMadonsela3 But absolutely no mention about TB outperforming the WuFlu? Mkhize wouldn't know💩from shianola if it hit him head-on!

There you go... By saying that, DrZweliMkhize is just making sure that he can blame us in 2 months time when the S is hitting the F!

Ok..so the turdwave is now only 8 days away?

CLOSE THE DAM BORDERS!!!

I was told that every achievement begins with the decision to try, ignorance destroys so many opportunities. I'm a victim but I was convinced by the right person GRACRUSSE
