Julle is fucked up.

🤔Wasn’t aware the 7-10day window period/deadline set by the IMC in charge of the operation had elapsed?

Yes, they will be taking off as soon as they come back from leave..and that passanger flight will come back and transport public commuters again, the won't even sanitase it...

Good! I am sorry but!

It is not a SANDF aircraft. It is a SAA charter. You still running with this fake news? The national broadcasting company? Yeesh.

PearLerato Grounded or Parked...

Not going according to plan. If I was a soldier and see how much politicians loot with their friends, see how many millions are pumped to a useless Zondo talk show and someone tells me to go rescue lives in China for peanuts 🥜, I won't go. My kids also deserve better.

Jaar maar vhela who wants to go there vhela🙄..

Why are we returning them? Isn't better that they're in China..... i mean China has put better measures, in control n people are adhering to the preventative measures put. Here....we are spreading it more. Govt needs to be considerate and not be pressured

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Government to spend R25m to repatriate South Africans from corona-virus hit WuhanThe government will spend R25 million in an operation by the defence force to repatriate 151 South Africans from China to SA following the outbreak of the coronavirus. Will cost a max of 2 million, where is the other 23 million going? which ANC thief? It doesn’t cost 25mil for a 151 tickets back from China!!! Seriously this is wasteful expenditure From initial reports the amount was R80 million, still said to my wife, seems a few connected cadres are scoring big again.
