AldrinSampear Hayisuka!!!! You failed long ago before you started

And iss okey!!! 👍🏽

Some of us never believed u even when u announced it from the begging. So re shap.

icjarp The world need to see how started blaze in various locations in Yangon. MilitrayTerrorists did the same thing in 1988 and did the same tactic now to ignite CCP and instigate more violent massacre which ended with 81 deaths in Yangon alone ytd.

There is no word to describe the utter uselessness of this bunch. To fail before you even begin is what they are best at.

This government's inability to be a decent government is shocking. It shouldn't be that hard to do the job they are being paid MILLIONS to do...we as South Africans need to really start looking inward and start voting with out heads. VoetsekANC

AldrinSampear 40 million people? As in, 70% of the population? 😂😂😂😂😂

AldrinSampear Tsek ,.. we want fee education not lamakaka

Some of us are not surprised, we are led by idiots.

Nobody really believed they could pull it off...so,🤷🏾‍♂️

Worried about manufacturing when the roll out is so slow for the vaccine that is available? Distraction tactics.

How is this useful information when we know the government never delivers anything on time except load shedding.what the fuk is this info aiding on.He must just go deal with allegations and leave us in peace

Expected not surprised

29%

who would have thought !

Headline should read: Health Minister admits to failure in not being able to vaccinate target of 40 million.

Not a suprise at all. I dnt take anything he says serious

What is new? Tell us

We are not surprised because in South African government being incompetent is the prerequisite

WTF was the target?

Is this due to the fact that many countries already don't want/banned the new vaccines that have been causing deaths?

we expect nothing less that from your government's administration

Imagine that.

It was a great lie to begin with. Ramaphosa government lies unprovoked nje, all the damn time

Nothing new under this sun...

Miss me assemblif

Predictable

How can they miss the target when they don't even have a rollout strategy

The incompetence of this government is embarrassing, one thing they can do without fail and delays is to loot

I simply don't care.

Weee

There's nothing new here, when did they ever meet a deadline 💁💁💁

We already knew ska wara

Asinandaba.

What a surprise, not.

Kgomo389 😂😂😂😂 they have lootedbthe vaccines😂😂

Lol already planning to fail😂

fokof with vaccines we need free education. jerr.

DrZweliMkhize what do you take us for?

Was it not his actual remit to make this happen? How is he ''warning''? Surely it's ''admitting he is a crashing failure'' is more sensible?
