11000 deaths is too much let's pray that RSA doesn't reach this situation

I won't cope with lockdown beyond 16 April. Try teaching 3 kids at whilst trying to work from home and keep the house clean and do cooking simultaneously. I want my life back

They must do 11 000 deaths is unimaginable 😢

Whilst its a relaxed lockdown in mzansi. The ministers involved in all this drama will regret their hyped decisions one day.its like they are fighting the minister of health indirectly

We need extention of lockdown with real rules, no movement at all, unless u have a permit, supermarkets open from 7am to 10 am, no one on the streets from 1pm, taxi's only operate from 5am to 9am then from 4 to 9pm, no excuses and we will win

SakinaKamwendo LeanneManas South Africa also need extension of 7 days,prevention is better than cure.

Ga bana choice.. 😷 🦠
