President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged South Africans to do everything they can to limit the spread of Covid-19 amid a sharp rise in positive cases.

In his weekly newsletter Ramaphosa said the country was experiencing the third wave of infections, with Gauteng the worst hit.We may be tired of this persistent enemy, but it is not yet tired of us. The threat to health and lives is evident as people become ill and some die. We must do what we can as individuals, as families and communities, as unions and employers, and as government, to limit the toll,” said Ramaphosa. When the virus surges to this extent, the economy also faces challenges.

Rather, we need to invest our time, effort and resources to control the pandemic to see a pay-off in terms of falling case numbers, reduced deaths and economic recovery.The number of daily new cases jumped from below 800 in early April to more than 13,000 in the past week. In other words, it increased more than 15-fold from the last low point.

We will never disapoint u Mr President

We have been living with this thing for almost a year now, let us continue with our lives in peace

Do hospital have test kits for covid-19 testing ? where do all this high number infection come from?

how many people should be buried before he close the country?

The president should just stop the interprovincial travelling to limit the spread from one province to another

Does he mean like this?

Msunu wa Ramaphosa

He says 'the enemy is not finished with us' does that mean there will be no changes to cabinet and no cadre is going to jail? 'Cause if he is talking about the Virus why didn't they get the vaccine on time and why isn't the hospitals ready?

Vaccine chief 🤣🤣
