Heee I guess corona was very amused by this regalia, why dress-up like this for corona? We just wasted millions of money on students who decided on China for education, just any moment real issues are a moment away.
Soldiers to fight C19? How?

So they waited for the first confirmed case to act, when they knew about the global outbreak and did nothing to prevent it from coming into our shores. We have been let down by our own government.
It's high time we utilise neighborhood watch volunteers coz it seems SANDF needs assistance
Please allocate more soldiers to high density areas?
In the townships too, please
It is time that soldiers handle the situation.
