President Cyril Ramaphosa says he will work hard to ensure the Aspen COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing facility in the Eastern Cape does not close. Vaccines

It is facing possible closure due to a lack of orders. Ramaphosa says he is engaging African Heads of State to purchase vaccines made on the continent and specifically in Gqeberha.

The Aspen Pharmacare facility, manufacturing vaccines, was launched last year but to date, it has not received a single order from other countries.Only 30% of the country’s population has also been vaccinated, with a fifth wave of COVID-19 looming.“Its cause for concern that vaccines are just laying fellow and not being procured. I have started engagements with the President of Zambia, Uganda, Malawi and Kenya.

Since when he became CEO of aspen and why must he work hard to not close it if he has no financial interest in it?

Covid is over …. Get over it , or did some brown envelopes change hands and now it is payback time .

Well he's been paid to promote vaccines

The only thing Ramaphosa willing to work hard for as President...vaccines. Not unemployment,

He means he's gonna coerce people into taking the vaccines and boosters neh? Me just thinking loud if 'Aspen are on the' CR17BankStatements

Like he's worked hard at uplifting the South African people?

Like he did with load shedding?

That’s the problem when political decisions are given prominence over economics and market demand and supply.

The man of promises that never deliver

Of course he will. There's gold in them thar hills.

If there is no market for their vaccines it is better to close the shop. Pfitzer is capable to supply what is needed.

Useless president it will close bcos the are no orders for vaccine

Instead of fixing Eskom, he is busy with Aspen plant. One plant vs Eskom fleet. They could always scale down or repurpose the plant to manufacture other vaccines. Nxa

For how much? How much does he want in order to 'crrate demand'

Mogoeng-mogoeng prayers are working

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

Why was it opened if there are no customers?

and other leaders! 🙄

Will he give the jab forcefully to citizens?

Why No one wants it.

Lol by allowing private companies to force us to take vaccine against our will, we will pray hard for him to lose 2nd term

Other African countries no longer trust whatever is coming out of South Africa bcos xenophobic virus that is ravaging the country. That's the reason why Africans refused to place order.

Luckily they are Johnson & Johnson

It's the only thing that he knows.

When will he “work hard” to eliminate poverty?

Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R500,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07

He will take that vaccine himself and his family, Cyril Ramaposa is an agent of Satan.

The only way is to create covid. If there is no covid there is just no need for that facility.

Don’t believe a fkn liar !

He will force people to take a JAB. It's all business. Wake up SA

The truth is South Africans don't need Vaccines but decent Jobs with medical benefits.

LOL

Aspen makes alot of money from other meds why are they so adamant on vaccines ?

Fusek

Thats what that Aspen mafia wanted to hear

He can work as hard as a horse, asijovi.

😂😂

Eh bana* 😂

He will force the citizens to jab 😂
