Mmusi Maimane slams cartoon depicting Omicron variant as black and from SA

Maimane called the cartoon ““The Omicron response from the international community has exposed an anti-black sentiment that must be addressed.”

KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform director Prof Tulio de Oliveira said the cartoon was not only racist but also factually incorrect. Racism and discrimination are getting out of hand . Especially as more than 80% of the initial Covid-19 introduced into SA came from Europe — Tegally et al Nature Medicine 2021. Is it not time to stop the discrimination and face this global epidemic together?” he tweeted on Sunday.
