No Mr Pres, please better early than late.

Anc is not ruling that's why they don't decide for the country.They are taking orders from a cell phone.

It's never to soon. Do it now before its5 too late. I'm going to put on my mask and rubber gloves............

Nonsense, we must ban travel to Italy. Finish and klaar✋✋✋

Ramaphosa lack a sense of urgency..slow & indecisive..

Ntwe enoba lereta

I agree with the president that it is soon for institute restrictions. Let it help us wipe out the ANC old age and the country shall change to a new direction.

Abramjee If useless was a person....

If all countries had issued a travel ban and closed the borders as soon as the virus began in China, none of the countries would be in the situation they are in today, including us South Africans.

Wait till its an epidemic and then react. What leadership we have.

Uyagula lo!

Abramjee Mara our leaders does it matter, is it not better to be prepared than to react as they normally do

You are right! Issue the ban when half of your ANC voters are dead!

Mara this one yena hai

Lomvenda is out of touch with reality ANC under you and Mboweni will bleed

Ramaphosa is taking his cues from Rupert and Co. Those guys are probably still overseas on holiday.

Reminded of ThaboMbeki government that refused to roll out ARV's resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths that could have been minimized.

Oh my god . What is wrong with this man. Must 100 people first die before he does something.

He will be first to cry sabotage when the Corona spills over outside the 'Italian 10'

Issue travel ban to avert a disaster CyrilRamaphosa .why wait for many people to be infected? PresidencyZA

Murderer we haven't forgotten about Mirakana,.. Ofcourse still too early for u coz u want more dead body's from Coronavirus right 👉

Yeah TOO SOON because nobody died yet that's what that means.

True but not for people travelling from Italy 🤷‍♀️

Phew! Thank goodness someone knows what’s going on!

We r definitely fucked

💔💔💔💔💔😟😟.

There are two ANCs, one for pre-election and the other. At least suspend flights from majorly affected countries. Cayman Islands just did so. Prevention they say.........

Too soon😲, are you for real CyrilRamaphosa.

He wants it to get out of control so that he can sell state assets whilst we focusing on CoronavirusInSA

We voted

So he’s waiting for us to die before the travel ban is issued?😐 usufuna sifile lo

Too soon my foot!

Typical of him hence im not surprised.🚮

this is the man who killed people in marikana

Until we start claiming lives. Why can't just once, one be Pro-Active and decisive in putting precautionary measures in place?

I'm shocked 😲 🙄

Issue it it's not too soon corona travels by air not by party politics.... Ask the Italians they wish they did

The most useless person on two feet

This not a disease or virus, it is a dangerous weapon that is created to destroy CHINESE ECONOMY that is growing up so fast everyday.🤞🤞

Tjo lo Baba u useless...

poor president of South Africa is always lacking behind . he wants us to be affected first then it will be the wright time if not late . he is waiting for other presidents to do it first then he will follow . Russia has already done it

Ramaphosa and SABC will be the death of SA.. not even telling people that its a weapon not a virus.

So people must die first

Ngoba nihamba nivota nje

That’s ANC for you, I bet they’re waiting for positive cases to reach 5 million like they did with HIV before the roll out of ARV treatment, sense of urgency is non existent...

Not surprised Marikana man 😭

New Dawn for us. Let people die first and we will see what we can do.

Abramjee And very soon im sure he’s gonna be shocked about the number of cases.

How about he take a month holiday in China .. just to relax he has been shocked by too many things..

Amasimba mani lawa

Its so so bad that authorities dont take this illnesses serious! Greed is bad divisor....

So it must be too late?

Even other countries had only 2 cases at some point and look at what happened to them e.g. Italy with 233 deaths and Iran with 145 etc. when people travel some use connecting flights and are coming from epicenters, so maybe the travel ban should be issued for nonessential travels

Abramjee Very useless leadership here

Uyany........!

What a hogwash. You want a disaster before you can act?

Uzophaphama sokufe inqwaba yabantu

🤦🏾‍♀️

Yaz that guy is...

He's a nefelibata, so they can continue traveling and government is just after money, and to flock tourism in into SA 💵💵🤑🤑💰💸💸💷😂💶💴💩💩💩💩

This president is stupid

💩💩💩💩

That's true, we have 2 cases so far....
