Johannesburg - The South African National Defence Force will be deployed in Gauteng as Covid-19 infections continue to rise, acting Health Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane announced on Friday.

“Gauteng is becoming one of the areas we are very concerned about. For the past few days, we’ve been working to bring down the numbers but they have not gone down. The rate of infection shows that Gauteng has passed the number of the first and second wave. That’s very worrying.”Kubayi-Ngubane said the military would also help with human capital in hospitals, mask wearing, contact and tracing.

“We want to bring the hospital back to functionality; the process is under way. We are hoping in the coming weeks engineers will assist in finalising the work and also give the certificate for occupation of the hospital. “The higher the number of vaccinated people, the better we will manage the pandemic. We request for those who have received the jab to not their guard down by not adhering to Covid19 regulations. Continue wearing masks and sanitising,”

Dr Nicholas Crisp discussed the vaccine roll-out, saying the main challenge was availability of vaccines.

Again? So is it abt COVID or protests?

How legal is this for SANDF_ZA to be deployed against its own citizens? This Govt is overreaching! misusing emergency measures meant for limited time and keeping it forever. where are the opposition parties? why no outcry? UN_HRC EFFSouthAfrica VFPlus Action4SA MYANC

To assault citizens while politicians breaks the Covid-19 regulations day and night without being assaulted

deliver services to the people and they won't protest 🙄.

So sandf is going to suppress protests? You can only fight protest through service delivery, not with the soldiers. Give people services. Soldiers should help police to patrol the highways and protect residents against foreign criminals, who are spiking vehicles

Soldiers, the army to have arms against those who are not armed, really. This doesn't make sense.

SANDF medics deployed as Covid-19 surges in GautengActing health minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane said on Friday that the SANDF military health service was being deployed in Gauteng to ease the burden on health practitioners as Covid-19 surges in the province. People must remember that Gauteng is one of the province where there is lots of movement. People from different provinces are living Gauteng. So it's easy for the province to become the only one that people should be concerned about... So SANDF are fake virus shields and immune to it. But the SANDF can't detect Covid-19 is bio weapon by both US and China army. And graves dug months ago are about to be filled because that vaccine is not to be trusted. Who know that it's actually a slow poison that will ensure that some of us won't see old age and state pension years?
