Unlike these fuckkkkkn selfish irresponsible 10 skanks who came back from Italy with the virus to infect everybody else here. Government is to blame to allow these people back here.

I think it's better for all our safety

Did they ever requested the repatriation ?

Do they test positive and whats their reason for now staying? Govt must tell us the truth.

They realized they safer there than here,atleast China is taking this serious and its people are quarantined unlike SA where people Quarantine themselves.

Very clever move from those students, SA healthcare system is very fragile

MakopoK I wouldn't want to come back to a hopeless situation.

I wish I could join them

They realized it's safer for them over there.

Leave them there. They are safer. Wuhan has become stable in terms of cases and control.

Rubbish!

God bless them

Good

WIse move if u ask me.
