You know what,ANC is being opportunistic.They have no KNOWLEDGE of the CORONAVIRUS.They are not the ones who deported it from abroad to Afrika.Maybe if they say:They are going to INVESTIGATE who initiated CORONAVIRUS,he spread it and what he intended to achieve through that.

Aaa stupid idea. They will spread the virus. What to expect from idiots.

Angisazinke manje

Door to door🤔 high chances of getting the v.... Ke ndithule.🚶

EFFSouthAfrica Our_DA anFFPlusVoter UDmRevolution must do the same to campaign for 2021...

Anc is useless not thinking. They use covid19 to campaign whilst people would die. Watch and see the covid19 destroying the country in 6 months. Selfish decisions not thinking. And they will gather in 100s....😭😭

We really appreciate that but why school a closed and parents are still going work in different places like airports

They must test people for free, that's all

People should lock their doors when they c black /gold and green colours approaching their houses

Can the anc please give govt space to fight this thing they'll confuse and conflate issues. This is a govt competency please are they now suggesting all political parties do door to door. Please this is a national crisis allow govt to do its work

Criminals may capitalise on this... Let's be vigilant as a country.

Everyday and everyday MYANC is busy parading its stupidity on world stage.

Dear ANC, fcuk off

Stay the fck away from my house...

They'd be unintentionally spreading the virus since they won't know who is infected and who's not. Keep it moving I guess

Lol.....to spread it

Why should it be the ANC and not stuff member of a government dipartment that is responsible for this

Mara thats stupid as i come to think of it 🤔

They shouldn't come to my door.... they should just update us and explain why there was no update today

Great, pass the virus on door to door 🤦🏻‍♂️

Test all of us like the whey we vote

NO!

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Joke le kaloku

The O'Jays still stuck in the Old days doing things the Same way

Delivering Coronavirus door-to-door . The whole ANC has just lost its marbles tho

They not welcome in my home...askies

They must stop with that nonsense

Criminals will also join this. 🤦🏾‍♀️

They will spread it at our homes mmawee 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

That is a BAD idea MYANC ANCParliament GovernmentZA It's just mind-boggling how you always come with BAD ideas. WHO recommends social distancing, isolation, less human interaction. Why do de opposite? What if your agents get it at someone's house & goes around spreading it?

Ha ba utlwisise hore re tlameile ho fokotsa ho kopana le batho

The only door to door that should be allowed is to provide sanitizers and food to the poor.

They must play a hell away from me

Crocks will hide amongst you.

Most people are home and have access to social media. Take advantage of that and raise awareness there rather than doing door to door. Nobody is immune to this virus.

I just hope that your fool's are not spreading the Coronavirus from door to door

I will chase them away If ever they come closer , that’s called keeping a safe social distance

Please stay away from my door.

My Gates are closed

Actually there is nothing interesting or exciting about our movement, it has become a reactionary old boys club, that waits for something to happen before doing anything

These imbeciles are amazing. We are busy trying to limit social contact and they want to do the opposite. Let them come to my house and I will set my boerbulls on their stupid asses 🤔

Please don't come to my house

have this in your yard...

Hope they won't spread it door to door

ThutontleJ Yawning

No

How stupid can you get!... The object of the excercise it to limit contact with people... Real fucking genius of this ANCmob 😲😬

ANC is N0T welcome on my door step

Igebengu lezi zifuna ukuzosibulala

To be honest ... ALL political parties should be speaking to their members about this!!

I will allow no idiot on my premises,people will pretend to be from government....unacceptable.

It WILL give tsotsi's the 'right' to come IN your place!

Don't even dare knock on my door please 🙄🙄

Campaigns..

Dont come to my house please

Stay at Luthuli House wena Maan

That's the most stupid thing they can do at this time politicking what if that member doing door to door is infected then they must pass it to us

Lesufi your department says teachers must go to work until Friday... I thought the president giving instructions is final?

They are sent by their masters to spread the virus. We have known all along that these monsters are just in it to help the white man wipe out the black man

No...they should stay where they are

😂😂😂aibo zinja

Dont come to my door!

Imagine them going to old people living alone just to go there and lie and pretend to care

Dont come knocking, i will shoot you with my peppergas pistol, you wil cry allot. To many criminals even in goverment.

That's not gonna happen 🤞

Not in my house they are not welcome

WarrenNebe We are advised to self quaranty and now jiki-jiki they come knocking.....are we even allowed to have visitors

How certain are we going to believe if they are not criminals who are targeting ordinary ppl if they arrive will they provide the masks n sanitizers

Kill the whole nation then.

Always trying to find a way to steal money is now playing tricks on their brain cells, someone is not thinking about the consequences but about how much they’ll be able to steal in the name of campaigning

It's foolish infact because that's how the disease spreads.

😲😲 wow, wow, we are truly fucked

The ANC showed us on TV how they are going to screen the people entering South Africa Yet a couple from Italy walked in with the virus Saying and doing will never be the same

Are they pro-corona? Aren't we supposed to avoid stuff like that?

ThutontleJ Kindly come with new fresh T-shirts for your people, coz wow intsila kulezi zakudala ithusa ne corona

We don't want any visitors, we don't trust them

Bt m opening my door

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh Lord have Mercy on us 😭 🤦🏽‍♀️what did we do to deserve this

LooooooL start with Marikana first.

I have never seen such craziness yaz,how will that reduce covud 19? Instate of government making temporary testing centres in communities so ppl can know their statuses they choose door to door...what if they wull be engaging with ppl who has it already? How will that assist

Maybe they are using Coronavirus to campaign for next year Local Government elections

Typical... The organization is always working against itself... 🤷🏾‍♂️

They get stupid by day huh☹️

Hamba Satan🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire

Illogical.

WarrenNebe What happened to TV, Radio and/or internet?

Door-to-door SocialDistancing ?

😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷Tsek!

Anything for votes. 😷😷

Moreover, to achieve that, strategy breefing meetings will have to be held prior to implementation, gatherings have just been prohibited, contradiction of you ask me...

Door to door? Please don't come to my house, I won't open. Criminals are using the same method.

Lol Eban

Not welcome in my house

I will set my dogs on them.

What a joke my darling!

I'm not opening my door.

So they'll self deliver the virus? Nna bang thuse!

It's an election campaign disguised as Corona combating, these 'smart asses' know they have lost voter confidence and trying to damage control, don't fall for their tricks...

Not in my house pleas they can keep there virus kule hangeiini he vhanna....

Sorry not opening the door for nobody

How is this combating the virus? What if one of the people who come to our doors are carrying the virus hmm?

A confused organisation ever

I'll be sneezing non-stop.... they better not come to my place!

The problem is that they don’t think

Eish I don't really see how this is a good idea

Thats a great idea...which will also access people who dnt take this virus seriously nd ingorant people

You are not welcome in my house....

With handshakes , kisses and hugs they are going to spread coronavirus more! This is not the time for cheap political points scoring, this virus is a serious threat to the poorest people.

Don't Want Anyone From The cANCer At My Door!!!

No we don't want people carrying the virus coming into our homes🙄they should use Radio, TV and Social Media

ANCParliament MYANC What happened to Radio in all languages. SABC as initial intervention.

They must not come near my house I'll chase them away these failures of note

Too late

Yoh these lazy thinkers madoda!

Unless the government decides to do free testing - we don't want this!!

That's the dumbest shit ever......

Aybo iyahlanya yini i ANC 😑

Wht if they are the ones spreading the virus? They mustn’t use their campaign in the name of Corona virus

China used Third Industrial Revolution(Digital Communication )to uplift hundreds millions out of poverty. Let's activate and organise our digital footprints and add value to our social wellbeing.

This seems unwise. It puts the public at risk, as well as those who go door knocking. We need social distancing, not increased interaction. This idea seems contrary to real medical advice—were any doctors consulted? 😐

So they are going to spread it door to door? Great idea isn't it?

I wonder how much this door to door campaign is going to cost 🤔

Bayahlanya aba

Door to door can also help in the spreading of the virus. Precautions must be taken

No please don't. There's already ppl going around doing this in order for you to open your doors. Then you get robbed and maybe evens killed. What is your problem omw. Should we think for you as well CyrilRamaphosa

In a newsletter yes. Even Cyril is not welcome sorry Mr Prizie.

I am genuinely interested in knowing how this is going to work in a country like ours. Crime levels escalate on a daily basis and our government sat down and decided this was the best strategy for all citizens.. come on thle

This is idiotic

as long as this doesn't include people in ANC uniform conducting 'free screenings' at your door in an attempt to gain access to your property. That one is two days old

That's so risky, not a good idea.

This will spread the virus and infect new People.

The perfect tool to combat it is to stay away!

No no no! Thugs are gonna take advantage of the situation.

As long as they are not bringing it so us.

Door to door with sanitizer or try next door

The most stupid group of adults to date

How will it be safe in terms of crime to people who will be comin in our homes an act as if they are from the government?

Criminals are one step ahead of you 💁‍♂️

MYANC is so dumb...

Like MYANC youth league in Limpopo wanting to organize a mass “mother of all marches”!!

Go door to door inhaling the virus makes so much sense rn.🥺 Or this is an early campaign strategy?

Hhhuuuuuu I'm waiting for them... They must start at my house... COVID19SouthAfrica

how dumb is that? If its not the military you not coming into my yard; Shoot on site!!

Hhhuuuuuu I'm waiting for them... They must start at my house... covid19SA

LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nha they must rather have test centers like they do for HIV Thieves have already looked into this and it's a brilliant idea for them to target our home... Also, the ANC needs new advisors

This is a bad idea!!! already there are criminal characters imposing themselves as officials from the Dept of Health they'll also take advantage of this door to door campaign and do crime on innocent citizens...... Noooo come up with a better idea 🙆🏾‍♀️

No Felicia

MYANC Please use SABC radios & TVs and Community Radio stations to communicate the message. Just imagine if one combrade is infected the whole country is going to catch the virus. You will campaign for election next year.

Is this satire? CR recommens social distancing and in response they start a face to face, door to door campaign? Didnt think this one through at all

Worst and bad timing for a door to door

BAYAPHI? HLALANI EMZINI YENU!!! ANISIYEKE!!!!!!

We don't want the anc to go door to door to the residents, they are actually campaigning for the local government next year, they are taradiddle's 💩💩💩💩💩

Ddddddddddddddd

We need more adverts on tv... I think every 5 min there should be something on our screens about Corona... we need to be aggressive on this one

😂😂🤣🤣 but that will spread it

They are not welcomed

NO!

Social distancing...?

1 IR solutions in a 4 IR world. The ANC is truly a bunch of retards stuck in a long forgotten world. How about using radio, TV, mass text messages etc etc.

they gonna hand out Tshirts and streetwise2

Lie like they do during election campaigns

If we put the ANC in charge of *spreading* the virus it would be wiped out within a few weeks.

No please!

ANC logic.

Yoh ah ah ! Bo Dumb and Dumber Ke bao Mxmx

Poor thought process 🤦‍♀️ The criminals already beat ANC to it

But their President said we must avoid crowd and unnecessary gatherings, please don't come to my house.

Moronic move.

Y’all want us flushed nhe?

Why would ANC want to keep contact when this disease has been declared a disaster. A wrong time for vote canvassing really 🙄🙄

🙃

Errr chief try nextdoor don't come knocking at my house you all are not welcomed 😠😠😠

We a led by fools

Don't come to my house with your Corona n corruption

I'm not gonna open for them.

Hahahahaha as if they are immune

And this ladies and gentlemen is the 'brains trust' of South Africa.. Are you scared yet ?

They wasting money on unnecessary campaigns, soon yall will be saying how the government does not have enough funds. Instead of building a new hospital that will only deal with the infected people you are busy with stupid campaigns

I wanna go grab a yellow t-shirt and do door to door by the whites suburbs especially Ka loadshedding, don't ask me why 😂🏃

No ekhaya asibadingi bangaze basfakele ukugula......

I dont trust those idiots... they might be bringing more

Distribute medical masks and gloves to citizens, coronavirus is moving fast, your ANC door to door is stupid idea to the virus

They won't force us to be examined mos?..

Hhhayini!!! Nithini manje?

Oh my.

Sebefuna induku laba bayasijwayela manje

2021 ANC campaign....Opportunism at its best Mxm

I don't trust MYANC to do that,instead they'll go door to door spreading the virus.😠😡

It'll spread

Big brain time

You can skip my house !!!!!

What a joke Its canvassing now

Isn't gonna take too long?

Nooo where the fvck ya'll going

bazofa ĺabo nokubhayiza

Bringing coronavirus from next door to my family or vice versa 😭

Sy moer

Who came up with this stupid idea?

All political party must do the same lol

The next thing songenelwa zizkoli endlini zithi zisuka kwi ANC uzobona njee, nabo bazosphathela lo virus ezindlini. I think iTV nee radio stations namanye amakhasi onxibelelwana enza kakuhle

This is a danger already to households, people may just use ANC to gain access to our households and rob us

How will we know if they are really genuine workers reinstated by the anc, heard criminals have already taken this as an opportunity

NotInSouthAfrica the criminals will be first at your door.

😂😂😂😂 ANC do not embarrass me guys.

This is rather I bad idea

As yet in my region and arear there are no measures being taken or implemented to protect those who use public transportation ,most being elderly, and remember they use the same mode of transport we use when going to the clinics

Campaign in disguise,they must allow other parties to do same,you might find they worry much about loosing power than Coronavirus,there is zlso senister motives in the ANC

Surprisingly I was at Orlando clinic with a whizzy tight chest with all flu symptoms, received a mask & antibiotics no one said anything about Corona virus I repeat no one.

Why doesnt our government intervene in protecting those who work in malls,specially, Banks,retails,grocery shops,as I write this I'm walking in a shoprite near me but there are no sanitizers,wipes or disinfectants of any sort,fact us our government doesnt care about us

I dont like this idea at all, i think it will be spread instead.

Ummmmm

Here come the criminals with an excuse to come into your house!

It will be helping transfer the virus door-to-door

Yes, spread it even further 😬

They must supply water to the rural areas,door to door won't help without water to wash hands

Nna we will have to do it via the closed window

What abt this kante🤷🏽‍♂️; social distanc

Why is government work being done by a political party. ? Can all parties use the Coronavirussouthafrica as a tool to do their campaigns for 2021 local government elections? EFFSouthAfrica Our_DA

That's how it spreads

I'm not opening my door for people who are expose to the virus,stay away!!

Ai ai that's a no.rather distribute free masks and sanitizers

Thanks but NO thanks,you can keep your thieving ComRats I most certainly will not allow them access,ever...

MYANC ifuna siphele nya vele

NOOOOO baba ngezi 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️

What is wrong with South Africa government ..haai haai ..

Plizzz dnt come to my house

Mxm

DONT COME TO MY HOUSE JUST DONT!

That certainly will not be a good idea as not many people will trust those knocking on doors. ANC Not in SA. 😂

Nope criminals will come to our homes in disguise... Nooo ANC

Already rumours of people knocking or doing door to door claiming they from ER24, members of health and safety organisations has started going around. The ANC is just going to add more petrol to the burning fire.

Stop it ANC... You failed to combat corruption and now what's this?

So no fear of spreading the virus in “door-to-door” approach🤭

Results of this strategy 1. break-ins 2. quicker spread of the virus

Hhayi bazosithelela ngegciwane. Mina nje angibadingi kithi.

Nope

While their members are killing each other in mpumalanga, instead of going to their branches and talk about the real desease that affect their members, they want to cause nonsense, going around telling people to wash their hands.

Waste of money and risking our people's lives.

I really pity ppl in the rural areas..how are they going reach out to distant neighbours..even worse the informal settlements

Taking Corona to the people!

This can’t be true

They going to spread the virus and justify tenders for mobile clinics, masks and gloves. One mask will be going for around R500. We have seen copies of invoices submitted by these Cadres!!

I totally don't support the idea. The information shared on media is enough. This will lead to break in. Not a brilliant idea

How do we put a stop on this pandemic when parents of the children are still going to work ? I mean sure it was a great thing to take precautions regarding that but it won't stop now because parents will take the virus home from their work spaces.

I don't want visitors.

Seriously How come, people in the suburbs have TV and are mostly panic stricken Create food banks and deliver necessaties to the townships instead

Yeah, visit all the sick n sundry then come knock, I will keep my dogs lean....

I believe in a family there is someone who can read and translate to their family, the best option is to join the WhatsApp created to inform us about the Covid-19, number is 0600 123 456. What is the point of the campaign if those people won't be able to answer questions we have.

Err seems a bit contradictory that one

No we don't want those people on our doors they will bring Corona on our doors plz they must only quarantee themselves.

That's very bad. House robberies have already started apparently, with people pretending to be Government sent for COVID-19, only to people. There has to be another way.

To who because we be all at work. Weekend it's no no no. Really ANC people don't think at all

Don’t worry printing and distributing pamphlets will solve virus issue at annual Moria gathering.

Stay away please.

They wanna campaign whilst infecting us...

In this day in age they should opt for social media. stay away please

Do they understand the meaning of social distancing? They're literally planning on taking the virus from door to door.

Once ngabo okufake iskibha se ANC ngidedela izinja

Eh, that's risky as well.

ANC door- door is a liar! They will use this opportunity to spread bogus political liar's and trying to gain votes from previously lost municipalities as they try to take all for more looting.

As much as u want to see the end of this virus, going on door to door to teach people, I see it as risky to those going on the campaign, what if they get infected along the campaign. This is big no, rather send messages via SMS in languages of the area.

I have 2 trained dobermans, amongst other. You want to enter my property you'd better have a court order

Campaign needs funds ..so they should use that money to buy more test kits and now we talk of social distancing. . .they should use local radios and local councillors to convey message

Good for them it has worked for them to win elections lets see if it can help end Coronavirus sabcnews

The president said we must avoid physical contact(public places) by all means so now they want to do door to door for what?

We don't want them in our homes.

These people ba re tlwaela marete straight

Door to door will spread banna what are they thinking

Opportunism at it's best. Anyway,I still wont vote them nevertheless.

Yho

I'm so confused here please help to understand this they are closing churches, schools shops but what about the working place? Because it is not making any difference of closing this place but we are still going to work.

Now that is stupidity at its best... Don't even consider that... They want to take the virus door to door now.... 🤔

Heard this one before. 😏

Criminals are already taking advantage of this virus. How are we supposed to know who is really from the ANC? This also increases the chances of the virus spreading.

Not welcome😷

Good chance for voters to smash doors in their faces

Please also target the street people too, they touch everything and everything is touched by everyone. I wish there was a plan to help them as well.

My Bit bull ll be waiting...

He banna...

This is definitely not about the people's healthcare but a campaign tool for Anc

This is campaigning... other parties should join too....

Nope they’re not welcome !Coronavirussouthafrica

No no no, this will lead to break ins, I totally don't support it, people will hack this approach as they have before with eskom installations of meters....

They are stupid kanene

They just wonna spread it

Wont that spread it?

Lol is this a joke?! Door-to-door when everyone’s meant to be isolating? 😂🤪
