Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu, says the number of coronavirus infections now stands at 1170 and the death toll has been reduced to one person.

“Whilst indeed there has been a reported number of two deaths, arising out of COVID-19,what has now been confirmed by the authorities is one death. The other death is suspected. The minister will explain all that at an appropriate time.”Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has slammed those who seek to undermine the national lockdown which is part of wide-ranging interventions to slow down the spread of the coronavirus.

Mbalula says there have been some challenges with public transport, particularly long queues and a lack of transport to ferry essential workers. “The first challenge in terms of public transport of transporting workers with essential need like those working in the banks or supermarkets, in the hospitals … the operations started well today; we had challenges of long queues where the taxi industry did not come to the party to transport people and we want to emphasize once more that the regulations as stand in relation to 5am to 9am in the morning, but afternoon 4pm to 8pm. That still stands. Public transport is shutdown.

You will see it double every two days and people are going to start dying. Keep home please. This is an airborne killer it knows no boundaries.

Where was the Minister of Health to deliver the updates on Coronavirus? I will not be surprised if abo JacksonMthembu_ have started to play politics by reducing the appearance of Zweli in media just because of their factions. All of the sudden Jackson is all over media 😳

This virus is getting worse

Nothand78961294

JacksonMthembu_ it's not reduced but rather Revised to 1.

This is the case of The Undead.

Hey Mhlekazi, I don't want to be you to be announcing these figures 😢

Reduced !!! ... ka njani

Guess it is irresponsible to report a covid death without the correct and final report. Its only spreading more panic and fear for no reason!.

Reduce to one? Do 🙄they un-die?

SikhosanaLettah Reduced

Was he infected? I hope you are not distorting the stats.

The second death never die of Covid-19 as it was reported initially.

It is an offence to spread false news. I wonder what is going to happen in this case 🤔

How does the death toll get reduced

Thesecomrades are always embarrassing themselves, how do you reduce death by one. Did the famous pastors perform some miracle.

So news channels were all lying and gave us unverified information abt 2 deaths

Yesterday on news were 2 deaths but today it's 1 deaths, which is which now huh!?😳 ResurrectionFest

Can someone be charged for spreading fake news then.

Ao Jay🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

So who died with Covid-19 there one in private hospital or government hospital?

Did other person rise again?

2weeks ago I said this would be, &that was at 19 cases, now over 1000, by next week end it will be over 3000 due to closeness &greetings of our people. I STILL want to know what happened to the “miracle” vaccine, or..the R232mill.Started in China, China 0 New cases..strange.

Hhai ifilim! 🤔

they know that the number is too high then what they telling us, that's why they keep increasing each day

reduced ?

Sisthundzela... They undied TheWalkingDead.... 🤔😣

Uphapheme lo omunye?

Lockwood

The other person who died is not a local neh?

_Diimpho_M The person is “suspected to have died from other health complications”, but if they had corona virus then that’s what killed the person. (Complications caused by corona virus) 🥴 this lack of transparency though

I need to take English classes🙄. How can the death toll reduce? Did the other person undie?

Nokuthulaaaaa

Eassy__ Something is not making sense lana, South Africa is seems to be joining countries that are being dishonest with their numbers.

Another Nokuthula situation

Praise God. People are rising from the dead in Southaa!

It is always advisable to Check your facts before releasing such criticism information. Anyway, mistakes are mistakes... you must do better next time.

Whatever the death toll is ...rea leboga for the good news

This escalated real quick... Into a circus... How the hell did you get this one wrong?

Sir, i truly hope your are immune to these 'intelegent' tweets. i hope it is made because of boredom else it scares me the educational level, adulthood and plain common sense being displayed. you have my empathy. i pray that you. those saying resurrection, information attached

TebogoPhakedi Somebody rose from the dead?... Now I worry....

So you guys are feeding us updated that is not authenticated? Is the figure of infected people correct?

500KAT ?

Uhhmmmm....

Did the second person cheat death? What happened?

Reduced to one person how?

Is Pastor Alph Lukau involved in the reduction?

Bish !!! I watch THE WALKING DEAD. ... I need a machete 😐😐😐

How ignorant.....next time first confirm before announcing figures...its not rocket science......oh...then again its 🇿🇦

Oh my goodness 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How has death toll been reduced to 1 person? Did the other person un-die / came back to life?

😲😲😲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where is the 2nd person who also reported dead?

The cause of death is suspected to be Corona Virus base on signs and symptoms ( Clinical Picture) but they are still waiting for the results to confirm, hence they cannot say for sure that the cause of death is Corona

Ngeke wazi mhlampe ubuthelile, iyamomo lendoda.. Strong 💪... Mr Mthembu, Mvelase

Oh what happened to the statement released earlier on? Or was the other person resurrected?🤷‍♀️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Bathi only one death is confirmed to be as a result of the virus, the other one is suspected

Huh? Did they fetch the soul of the other? 😑😑😑

When I see these numbers rise like this, I get reminded of this idiot👇

Resurrection day 🤔

Uvukile? Is that Pastor who who from Allelua Ministries....

They probably called him

Lol yes reduced, it means that although the person was positive, they didn't die of Covid-19

Minister must be sure every time before making any report

Excuse me, how is it that the death toll has been reduced? We would prefer it if you were honest, as false information regarding this epidemic leads to unrest (and there's enough of that already). Please get your facts straight before you update us regarding these numbers again.

Reduced ? So 1 of them managed to.....? 🤔 chaza phela.

How do you reduce the death toll, how do you reduce death for one...😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Reduced by who? What happened to the 2nd person? Or was it an error in the first place?

Ok Jackson 🙄
