Hobaneng mmuso warona o tholetse taba ya coronavirus

I hope he gets it.

The government should shutdown everything now, it should not wait to have many cases to act this way. Don't say this is Africa with warm weather. Better safe than sorry.

As the president has addressed the school should be closed, we also need to address that people should stay where they are in order container the virus.

This is boring because we don't eat dogs and mice but we must die for those who eat those things

This is a state of emergency

If Cabinet does not impose travel bans, by next week Sunday, we would definitely exceed 150 cases, let’s debate next week... 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

God our brothers to fight the battle

These numbers are so off ...

Well done Mr President CyrilRamaphosa your work is amazing...51cases in one week wow. You're prepared right Mr President. God bless South Africa

Jacob Zuma might be the worst president as most of you say, but he was decisive. It's fine we'll listen to this one, even though we know what he'll say.

Ramaphosa addressing the nation...'don't panic, just washing your hands even more!'

samkelemaseko Time?

The case in Italy would be a child's play compare to what is about to happen in SA. The boarders and airports are being inundated with people coming in from affected countries.

Mxm the president must ban all traveling already. Is he waiting for transmitted cases?

This seem to be the same scenario during the HIV/AIDS pandemic in SA when the government banned the use of ARVs leading to the death of many infected people. I see the same complacency playing out in this COVID 19 debacle. SA government please effect a total lockdown.

The guy currently on your screen is really talking sense. He's advising for a stringent measures to be taking to curb the spread of this virus. SA, forget about the economic impart, save life first. A total lockdown and closure is most pertinent at this point in time

The South African government seem not to take the spread of this virus seriously. They are being so complacent in tackling this menace. if other big western countries are embarking on lockdown and closure, what stops the SA government from taken a cue from Italy and the rest

Should be way more than 1476 tests done but ok, continue.

CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MbalulaFikile GautengHealth MYANC DrZweliMkhize listen to this😠😠😠😠

What time will CyrilRamaphosa address the nation?

What time

51 cases of coronavirus proudly brought to you by the ANC government that doesn't want to impose travel ban. The lack of leadership in this country will result into many lives lost.

And recovered? What happened to patient zero? Only a small sample group of 1476 tests..... how many passengers from overseas land at 1 airport each day?

Ibingeke isale vele SA kulesisifo ngoba kubukeka bezuza ngokufa kwethu, why kusavunyelwa abantu bakulamazwe eqale khona Corona bagcaluze eSA

The more they speak the more people will suffer. action towards this virus is needed fast

By the time the cabinet is done with their meeting at 4, 5 or what ever time they get done there number would have increased

Now they using the SABC to report as if they have it under control. we know they have nothing under control save us your pathetic headlines

Let's hope his not going to be shocked
