I'm waiting for the SAcan fraudsters claiming to have found the cure.

Ke maphelo a batho aa so tlohellang papadi man P**S! Why should we give a flying fart abt economy when we stand to lose maphelo a our fellow South Africans? Ebang serious man NXA!

Stating the absolute obvious seems to be this Governments MO. Shut the borders and stop all unnecessary travel (tourism) now. The impact will be harsh on the tourism sector yes, but minuscule when compared to our entire country being hit. Stop F’ing around with peoples lives!

Minister we don’t need concern we need action. This thing can not reach our people who are already so deeply marginalized and being dealt a blow! It just can’t.

Close the flipping borders!!! More and more countries are doing it daily!!!

I was never pissed off by first citizins but these one that we have now they are pissing me off

He tod us not to panic

People are so negative on here And I bet 90% of us who are complaining here haven't went for a test either but we complain like we know where we stand. Go and test then talk

No shit, sherlock. Its not like it hasnt happened exactly that way in every other country. Wake up, we're not special!

U told us not to worry now its a concern

Jiki jiki,,, what happened to 'stay calm'? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This indecisive so-called president is only here to secure a bag, never cared about us! What's so hard about banning international flights? They're busy telling him not to ban flights yet cos they still want a certain number of blacks to get infected 1st! This guy must just fokof

You must be happy,this is mos what you and Ramaposa wanted.. I will pray that this Virus kills you and him and your families first before it kills Us people who doesn't have powers to decide.

The first case should have been a concern moron

I think it’s the blind leading the blind with our ANC government. They do well at stealing and talking, but nothing else.

Italy had 34 cases three weeks ago... Now look. And they're a 'first world' country. Winter is approaching. We're stuffed. But hey, keep washing your hands is all the ANC will tell you

Oh here we go

What where u expecting when u keep the borders open for everyone to bring it

We honestly need some answers. What are you planning on doing to fix the sudden growth?

Doesn't he read our tweets? We've been telling him all along DrZweliMkhize PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

But boarders are wide open, public functions not monitored, PSL in full swing, school in full swing even though theres 5 days before break.

It was suppose to be a concern from the first place the way this thing spreads its like veld fire

talk about the anc DESCRIBING the water we are drowning in!!!! typical all talk

If you wouldn’t be , Mr Minister, I as a citizen will also be concerned. So hope you have a plan on what you need to do to address this pandemic

Those are confirmed. I suspect UNCONFIRMED has another 3 or 4 zeroes after that

Vele it was a serious concern from the beginning, thats y china built a hospital in a period of a week. But Mkhize chose to act cool🤷🏽‍♂️

We should already be on lockdown. Italy don’t face the same social conditions as us. They don’t have townships like us. They have one of Europe’s best healthcare systems. We have an average one. We should rather prevent, and a lockdown is the only option

Level with me please, all the new cases in SA are people who came back from travelling and yet no travel ban, why not?

Keep calm Hon. Minister, Dont panic !

Then put a travel ban silly

A little bit to be concerned 😡🙄

Next headline... 'We are not eating enough beetroot' : Mkhize

Lol no shit 😂

So shut down the country.. Travel restrictions for 3p days at least, no one in and no one out

Limit social contact - social distancing

Psss

What happen to those traveling back from other countries are you quarantine them or its self isolation?

Even an imbecile could have foreseen that the number will increase... a country with limited resources must have taken decisive steps to ensure that the virus does not spread..history will judge you

Can we panic now meneer Mkhize...?

Can people stop going overseas please cause they bring sickness to us who have never even been in a plane, let alone cross the borders.

This is as exciting as saying the earth is round or apples are types of fruit

He is also 'Shocked'

DrZweliMkhize CyrilRamaphosa this should have been a concern from the first case that was confirmed....the lack of urgency and care when it comes to our lives is saddening

Oh how do I miss those by-gone days when Corona was just mearly a brand of beer. Oh the good ol' days 😳😢

It is because we don't wash our hands enough... wash more

Should we continue washing our hands

Wow his concerned!!!😳😳 we are devastated, we are scared, hopeless, powerless, threatened, worried........ DrZweliMkhize CyrilRamaphosa

As long as you quarantine people at their homes this coronavirus will keep on rising. Clueless government

Preventative measure should have been put in place in January should COVID-19 hits the shores of South Africa..keep on vote your useless ANC who can even think ahead Mxm. I'm pissed yerrrrrrrrr

No kidding?!

So him and his President are going to quarentine the infected in Robin Ireland

Oh only now its a concern

Only now he’s concerned? We could have told you that a few weeks days ago....if you don’t impose travel bans, there will be more

CyrilRamaphosa DrZweliMkhize really? Pls wake up on time &do something while u can. Winter is around the corner & we cant afford this. Italy is on lock down, not allowing entry & exit until further notice, while helping low income citizens with bond etc. Pls consider our pleas

Oh.

Kgan be le gopotše bjang 🤦🏾‍♀️

This doos will still say go wash ur hand

Now it's a concern because he said the country is ready...mxm useless minister including the president. They should have known better because COVID-19 happened last year this government must stop playing with us maarn.

But you were telling us that you have it all under control

And first case was not a concern?

Possibly it doesn't cross your mind & Ranko to shut everything down.

You and Ramaphosa failed decimally to control the situation, we've all been concerned from the onset mara y'all told us to stay calm and not panic mxm🙄✋🏽

Only meeting tomorrow.......tragic!!

Shit down NOW to avert a disaster!!!

Wow ... only now?

Wow even the great Mkhize is scared now CyrilRamaphosa well done Mr President. But still I'm not ready to die ✊. Close our borders now, or something big is going to happen 🤞.

The calm before the storm

Its no longer a matter of if but when, act now to flatten the curve

So get those testing stations up, shut gyms and stop all big sporting events etc etc , we have a head start here use it

Is it because Government is not testing enough people coming through the borders land, air and sea? Look where South Africa is in terms of testing for CoronaOutbreak coronavirus SouthAfrica

Doc can I assist you with Superlife World. Please take my number and you move with the times

Dont worry - just have a shower and eat a lemon. That'll cure it 🤔🤔😒😷

COVID_19_QUARANTINE_equality 'Urgent legislation for Mandatory state quarantine ....'

Ensure everyone who comes into SA is tested. Has the wuflu vacation club delegates arrived in Limpopo yet?! Who are they?! What race are they?! How much money do they have?! Where is their family interviews?! Why the army for protection?! Why Limpopo? To many questions. Not enough answers.
