Chirwa fired the first salvo:"Minister, in the UK, race-based stats were able to bring to the fore that black people are four times more likely to get coronavirus than white people. And in the US, race-based stats were able to expose the divide when it comes to access to healthcare. Then in Canada, race-based stats were used to predict and preempt hotspots.
“What we have seen as being factors that are important is more the question of comorbidities and is also the access to quality health services,” said Mkhize, who was cut before finishing by Chirwa shouting “point of order, speaker”.Naledi Chirwa A determined Modise said: “Honourable Chirwa, your mic will be muted because you put a question ... which in fact is being attended to, and you interrupt the response to your own question. That is out of order.”
voshomovement This foreigner!
Of what benefit, does it makes any difference. I guess she was bored at home and she is seeking attention from the public or the opposition party. I advice to her is to go and assist doctors and nurses so that she will have access to the dead bodies etc
This information is completely irrelevant at this point in time of human history. There really are more pressing issues like how many township schools are ready for students to return to. Time to be constructive and not destructive.
We know of black people dying, this virus can kill anyone. Racial numbers can be released, but what purpose will it serve. Age and pre-existing conditions are key instead.
How many foreigners have been infected? How many foreigners have died? I need answers?
Struu we wanna know
Great question, we want to see something.
Logic says that because of demographics more blacks will snuff it than whites.
Can we please also have a racial breakdown for murder and rape? Who perpetrate these crimes and who are the victims? Please MbuyiseniNdlozi and Julius_S_Malema would you support such a request?
Disgrace of the human kind
mheidtman Only in South Africa will the so called woke brigade make a race issue out of a pandemic.
Why I thought black people where immune since day one? Also South Africa doesn't need racist bigots like her in our country.
If we ask the same question then we are racist, what does it matter, many of my black aquintences said that the virus would not affect black ppl, this country only talks crap like a lot of stupids, panzi stupids panzi
Aren't we all South Africans? Why does it have to be reduced to race?
Its a good question. In other countries demographics are important, and it could help with prevention.
is she not in Malawi this one?
I also want to know the stats nothing wrong with that.
When are we going to unite? We have been made to hate ourselves by europeans who are foreigners in Africa. We have been devided to a point where we are no longer recognising d same europeans as foreigners eg Chinese, Portuguese, indians, jews n etc. Africa open eyes.
c_kumalo EFF is only about race. Nothing else.
I fully agree with her
So racist, sies!
Instead of uniting the society they keep on dividing the society with lame questions. She must go back to Malawi and ask that to he president
She's right. Its a question that need response
Does race really matter?
Yebo we want to know
I wonder how many foreign prisoners we have as to compare our in d African countries
I fully agree with you she must ask that question in her mother or father country malawi not here in RSA here death is death whether black,pink or yellow colour doesn't matter
When did coronavirus start to be a racial problem Chirwa
Haaibo! So ingenaphi racial stats fact of the matter there is Corona virus in South Africa bo red beret they are out of content yhoo!
This disease does not ask for colour!!!! Damn why must everything be about race?!!!!
So when this issue was talked about in USA it was ohk but in SA nooo its a race card.. Shame on us blacks for attacking her with Malawi bullshit.. Apartheid has really played a dumb ass card on yall
And if she gets those figures, does she understand demographics and stats?
What good will such do to the current situation?Please stop being dramatic.When you've got nothing constructive to say just keep quite,please.
I'd also like to know, especially after someone was wrongly diagnosed with it...
She must go and ask in her country Blantyre Limbe Malawi
South Africans always sensitive to reality 😞 We really need to know on those blacks how many male or females and what age group is affected more .
Why not
biasseDDD kyk hierso
Let it be so, I want to know the same thing. CO ASK
With respect to all, so do I. AGE RACE MALE FEMALE CAUSE OF UNDERLYING ILLNESSES AND THE SUBURB NOT THE PROVINCE. WE NEED NO SECRETS SO STOP HIDING THEM
America gives stats via race why is South Africa not doing it?
Good question indeed! Considering that many of our black people continue to be infected and affected and they have never travelled anywhere in the world.
If it can be done for HIV/AIDS it can be done for COVID19.
What a racist stunt what about Indians, and or coloureds are they not part of SA? Or is it once again the black and white card!!!
Give her a break. They have to stay relevant. They are receiving salaries while their supporters are dying of hunger.
Can we please have a report on how many black people ignore the lockdown rules, social distancing, don't wear masks, loiter, compared to white people?
Regtig! Plaas bekommer hulle, hulle eerder oor al die honger, werklose mense. Hulle kan geen dooie weer lewendig maak nie! En as hulle weer wat is hul plan van aksie daarna?
Eff always makes everything about race, jissis klomp racists
Eish I want to know that
We have been asking for this from the get go. With HIV/AIDS we were constantly bombarded with racial stats to a point where it made blacks look like degenerates who could not control their sexual urges. Maybe with Covid19 its not being done because it mostly affects whites.
That's nonsense NalediChirwa Don't act like you didn't go to school.
The need to know racial breakdown of covid19 is pretty much stupid Corona knows no colors...... What is needed is much awareness and enforcement in our communities of the seriousness of this virus. We cannot be losing lives black or white and wanna pin it on racism
1. it’s a worldwide pandemic so it’s not a plot 2target a certain demographic. 2, the stats will mirror our population. If the majority of pollination is blk, it’s safe 2say they’ll have a higher rate of death, that’s just logical. Fact is, the pandemic doesn’t select a race
Ucacile umbuzo.
Uracist diseeeeeees
But they do provide those stats with all illnesses like HIV, cancer, etc....what's different with this one?
Eff are they still around, when I enquired nobody new where to find a local member
This one must tell us wakuphi
You hate the White People but those are the ones who resemble South Africans let me do you a break down they don't wrk for Blacks but Blacks work for them And they own Land ,business, building And the lives of most black South Africans ,Who do we name or call a South African?
I always asked myself this question. Will be interesting to know.
Racial breakdown whats that And when we Say South Africans do we say white or black ,EFF is full of Racism
Firebrand NalediChirwa
The EFF wouldn't exist without their hatred of white people.
BapelaMzet It’s a very important question . What is the secrecy ? Those stats/names will show you that corona is one big scheme. It’s like flu but not deadly at all. They just need the numbers to fit the narrative .
Time for the virus to do it's magic amongst some political parties
If my mother is from Limpopo and father from KZN and I was born in Gauteng! It means am KZN resident. Klaar and Finish. So this Naledi Chirwa is a Malawian so she must go and raise those issues in Malawi. She must leave those issues for South Africans!
You wanna blame the virus for being racist, am I right?
Of course eff racists angry little people will say that.what more would we expect from the most hateful,racist,non caring party in the country.
South Africans are really race obsessed 😳
Ooooooo yaaane some Mps yooo
Mathematically it is unavoidable that many more black citizens would have died from Covid-19. But of course the EFF will support a qouta system. They want to hand out the same stolen blue tractor to many more districts.
It's all fun and games till it happens to your family
And what will happen after. Blacks outnumber whites. What is of importance is have the government resourcefully equipped health facilities in our disadvantaged areas to deal with this pandemic? Politicizing a virus is futile. This resembles the last kick of a dying eff horse.
Good Question Good Question
Journalists were supposed to ask these questions.
In SA we know the reason there’s no breakdown in this regard is that current primary carriers of this virus are not black.
Why? What difference does it make? Can a virus be racist? 🦠🦠🦠
Simple question and he was suppose to give a figure thats all or i dont know answer! Clearly you exposed them if they cant answer how would we trust the stats they giving us maybe they cook them !
your poes also
But why is she concerned about South Africans? Her own people are going through the same and she should be wasting her energy fighting for them. No hard feelings Chirwawbut you really need to advocate for your own. We have our own retards abo Julius_S_Malema MbuyiseniNdlozi
Nxa this Eff and its Mp's so what ? Does it matter how many blacks and what . Nizokwenzani after . You want to racialize now . NalediChirwa go and fly you and EFF are just parliamentary attention seekers full of drama 🚮
you can go to all the mortuaries then you will get your answers.
PutSACitizensFirstNow
NalediChirwa must also tell us what will be benefits of this information..... In others country it help in identify entomological problems
Thank you NalediChirwa
That's what they are good at, playing race cards even when it's unnecessary. She should ask those things in Malawi
Daddy bushiri said 2020 is going to be a great year and now the sister from Malawi wants to take us a step back🤔
She is on point.We need to know.What if it's the system for Black depopulation?
Ngwanyana Kasi ya ka are tseye masepa
Its reported that there's lack of equipment like ventilators how will we know if preference is only given to a certain race? And we know that race..
It's not her who wanted to know,It's Julius_S_Malema who first instructed MbuyiseniNdlozi to tweet that stupid question here on Twitter a few days ago. Eff Mps are puppets Julius_S_Malema pulls the strings literally.
Where? In Malawi?
This Malawian must go do that research in her own country
Zanditwala1 DrZweliMkhize dnt answer this is a trap, just after MbalulaFikile congratulated them of not politicizing this, they are gonna do it mxm ka ba itsi ba re ba vote tse moss
To date 552 people have died. Why know race? So you can mourn more by the colour of their skin? They all died from the same disease that didnt care for their race, social standing, or if they went to public or private hospitals. This country is a joke to its ppl and to the world
Simza_396225 She supposed to Hamba, abuyele EMalawi, ayobuza lembhedo yakhe. Ngitshedile.
Can she go to Malawi and ask such questions there,surely they will appreciate her presence
Why is that what difference will it make
NalediChirwa NalediChirwa what is your practical solution to ease the lockdowns or should we all stay in quarantine for 3 years until a vaccine is found whilst the economy crumbles? Clear answers please no ranting and raving...
Akabuzwa she is not one of us.Just look at her cheeks.
Hayi,hayi ivelaphi le bangaphi abamnyama babebangaphi abamhlophe abanalenjolongwane,nilala nihluthi nakugqiba nizosikhohlisa ngoku ngathi nisihoyile
In Malawi or in South Africa?
SAA is about to allow flights between CPT and Jhb,this means more covid spreading all over S.A. coz more whites will b flying to GP,this is a death trap
🤣 🤣 🤣 South Africans mara bafethu nimkhomba kibo nodilas😂😂😂
Are we honestly going to fool ourselves to such an extent we think this pandemic is about race?Why people who lack reasoning capacity always think they can fool everyone in blaming whites for everything that is going wrong?
Kindly explain y is the EFF asking about RACE?
We’re kinda all curious about actually. Not that it will make a difference to the dead pple or their families
This was must go back to Malawi.
Give us the break down on the VBS looters and what race was involved
Yes that is what I want to know as well
Spot on!!!!! Pandemic is new and it will only be fair to understand HOW it is transmitted in all respects.
She's not a South African citizen
Izasincedisa entweni lonto virus is all over
She Mampara of the year
on point, we all know anc has failed to improve healthcare service to blk people in 26yrs, conditions are worse, blk ppl are experiencing the same poor treatment & are dying in numbers in the U.S. more than whites
uLerato_pillay how will acquiring this information produce useful results? 🙋🙋🙋
Gods time to raise vbs.
I'm waiting for the natives to attack her.... 702s where are you?
SOUTH AFRICANS PARLIAMENT CLOWNS ..HAVE TAKEN THEMSELVES OUT OF THEIR POSH HOUSE TO ASK ABOUT THAT ... BUT NOT ONE IS MAKING SURE THE STARVING PEOPLE ARE EATING WHAT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES
She must also demand to know how many illegal immigrants have been affected and how the gov accounts for those who jumped the R37 00 (not 37 millions) fence to enter and remain in South Africa
Now we're being lectured in our own country by Kwerekweres...She must go do those things in Malawi.
90% are white i hope so
A great question indeed. We must know who is infecting who.....
there has to be a more comprehensive report not only on race but right down to the ward that is more affect. this will assist government in making informed decisions on allocation of its resources. it's what we call common sense. the public has a right to access that information.
uLerato_pillay Good question NalediChirwa ,what are they hiding? DrZweliMkhize
If she is tired of licking her bosses dry asses, she must go to Malawi, take Bushiri with her and leave South Africans alone.
We shall never politicize a pandemic. There is time for politics and there is time for a pandemic, it's essential we know the difference.
Ship her back to Malawi.
Populist!!
Great question
She can go to Malawi and asked that question to his President
Good question NalediChirwa we've been asking this question since day 1.
In which country?
She will always use a race card to sing for her supper. Our fellow white citizens should tell her where to get off.
Let it be done as a percentage of that specific demographic. When looking at numbers only it will be misleading. There are more black people in SA. Idiotic
She is ryt
She must go back to malawi that foreigner
Racists.
I wonder she expects the answer to make her happy or what. Definitely the will be an emotional reaction. One thing i know for sure she not asking this to help to find the cure.
This is a good question but not for the narrow minded.
That was a very good question.
She must go and ask that question in Malawi
LeighMathys That's my question all along, how many ke......
This 1 should go back to Malawi PutSACitizensFirstNow PutSouthAfricaFirst AsiphangileGarebereki WeAreNotWorking While the likes of NalediChirwa are members of parliament in a foreign country
LeighMathys I wonder why is it hard to provide such information. We know aids numbers and how it mostly affects us blacks. It's a norm in the medical field to provide such information. New York did give us numbers according to race, why is it hard vele? Bangazosangana
This must be informed by some superior logic of sorts.

uLerato_pillay But the day they identified the names and location of the first black victim we were all up in arms crying racism. Grow up MP chirwa - I did tell people that the kids we are sending to parliament will be crying for candy and ice cream instead of freedom and empowerment. Sad
Rubbish question this does not matter, it won't even make any difference
Collen82241585 At first glance this looks childish until u realise there are stats on blacks with HIV etc.
uLerato_pillay What’s the point? Black, White, Indian or Coloured.. people are dying and that’s way more important than race.. instead of getting more divided along race lines let’s united as a human race.
Eish, this EFF doesn't disappoint,their obsession with whites while disadvantaging South Africans by empowering foreigners is novel. How is this gonna change the price of bread? Focus on educating people to prevent infections, blacks & whites are included in community infections
uLerato_pillay Tell she's taking a job of a South African girl. She must vacate that position.
Might as well put up a colour coordinated chart with all the ethnic groups in SA and get an estimate. Surely its not just blacks or whites that have been affected?
Alinah42306332 We want that stats
Valid question, very valid
She'd have gone absolutely bonkers if this was said by a white MP.
Black depopulation is suspected for sure
Eff will forever ask questions that were supposed to be asked by our journalists Thank u Chirwa.
Thank you Honorable NalediChirwa
Malcolm_X_2020 Does it matter? 🧐
She must ask how many Malawian s.
phat63908830 Statistics.
To see which race is exposed to convid19, i agree to this question
And what is she gonna do it? The next thing she will be asking ukuthi where are they buried
She is just a kid
Who is she, she must go and ask that question in Malawi. PutSouthAfricansFirst PutSouthAfricaFirst
Good question
Good question
She must go and ask Malawian government
G
How many white people are in SA. How many black people are in SA. Thus stats will differ. But if we want to mix race and mathematics, we will get lost in translation.
I dont see anything wrong with this question. The stats should provide more info.
I Wonder what answer she is hoping for
We want the stats
Why do you always have to turn everything into a racial thing? Are we not fighting this virus together....black and white as South Africans?
Akahambe kubo lona kwaphela
Stupidity at its best.. if a white person asked this ngabe you lames are up in arms!! Tsek
This people are smoking nyaope
Small minds focus on small things
Please go back to your country
A relevant one
I fully disagree with her.
But does she not know where to such information? Are the ANC grannies supposed to do the research for her?
Comments here says Good Question😂 Imagine if the question was asked by white person. South Africa is lost for good. I start to believe that we need whites to lead us
LEN4Masilela SABCNews currently reports that in the USA more blacks are dying from covid 19 so why can we get the RSA stats and report our racial and demographics status 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
It's a right question there's nothing wrong, stop your stupid judgement...if it was someone else or your fav you couldn't say it's racist.
NalediChirwa It's is a valid question and the deteriorating state of journalism here didn't do justice to a very critical issue in this article. How then will StatsSA report on Mortality & Causes of Death statistics as they have done with HIV/Aids mortality DemographicBreakdown
Would this question sounded legitimate if it was asked by a white person ...? Wait until November and look at the mine workers... no black person will ask this question.... the mindset will have changed ....
There is no clever in that movement all of them are idiot I am not surprised
Pencil testing Covid19. Unbelievable!
Aaaggg another one.
Nothing wrong
LEN4Masilela 😂😂😂 SouthAfricansFirst
I wasted my vote on these fools.. Always pushing their racist agendas.
Very important
Mindless question. We need a vaccine so we can get the society on improving humanity.
Why would a legitimate question like this cause an uproar. The demographics are important
Amen Papa Bhushiri!
Nothing wrong with that.
🙆
I fully agree with her.
Maybe she wants to believe what some stupid people are saying about Corona killing and infecting whites people only, so babaric
What difference would it make, knowing those stats? Looking for a reason to be relevant? Everybody is at risk.
Ask bushiri
Volume apo nontombi ngathi abavanga kakhle
NalediChirwa Great question.
Makes sense
naledichirwa you asked a right question my sister, they don't show us those numbers and I wonder why they don't put on TV sick people of the Covid19 Coronavirus CoronavirusInSouthAfrica like the way they were doing with the ebola pandemic in West Africa.
Legitimate question.
Of course.
