I dont see problem there, we are locked here in Gauteng yet they go fetch people all over the world to be with thier families, we have our families in other provinces, why are they not testing us also so we can go home, we missed our families man jeer 😥
I'm glad this is being exposed. Hope our government catches up with this
Unfortunately they are stupid and cheating themselves not the system.
