Our gov is useless and everyone can see that more people will enter SA without being detected. Shame on MYANC gov. We will die lie flies just watch the space. Imagine they say family of that man must do self quarantine. 😭😭😭

Commended SA why, the question is why yhis guy was noy detected and caught as He arrived at the airport? Also rich people please stop traveling abroad manje.

Someone didn't do his or her here,this is just a cover up,this man was not tested on arrival at OR tambo

I hope that person was caught right at the airport.
