President Cyril Ramaphosa has used his four-nation visit to West Africa to criticise Western nations for 'ignoring science' and looking out for their “own selfish interests” in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

Over the past few days on his trip to Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Senegal, Ramaphosa has accused powerful nations of hoarding vaccines and a knee-jerk response to the Omicron variant by imposing travel restrictions on Southern African nations. “The greed they demonstrated is quite disappointing, particularly when they say they are our partners, because our lives in Africa are just as important as their lives in Europe, North America and all over.”

“The task facing us, as African nations, is to drive the recovery, but a recovery that is sustainable, inclusive and leaves no-one and no country behind. This is our bulwark against Covid-19 having negative long-term implications for peace and security in our continent.
