EFF has called on government to implement a ban on all travel into South Africa from countries hardest-hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19), particularly Europe which has been declared as the new epicentre of the pandemic.

114 South Africans have returned to the country from Wuhan in China, the origin of the coronavirus pandemic.EFF spokesperson Delisile Ngwenya government needs to act urgently.

She says: “A special facility must be immediately identified and prepared for medical care of all persons infected. It is irresponsible and utterly dangerous to allow unmonitored self-quarantine. This did not work in other countries and will obviously not work here. Coronavirus will sweep all over our country with a supersonic speed all because government lacked the courage to quarantine the infected.

Spying on anc meetings

CIC, 'superior logic' is suggesting Robben Island for CoronaVirusSA quarantine.

Thank you EFF maybe now they’ll act

Leadership right there.

Maybe they should not come here permanently

But what about open borders? Suddenly Socialism seems bad and Libertarianism the better option? Eff. You are a bunch of empty cans.

True 💪

I agree with EFFSouthAfrica 100% ban all the travel Europe

and if they do connecting flights to Dubai then Africa?🤔

They will ban them today Julius_S_Malema juju is incharge

The most sensible thing to do. Doesn't even cost money.

Yes please CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA GovernmentZA COVID19

I guarantee you that if it was an African country our fellow natives would have closed boarders longtime and if it was European countries they would have done so long ago if this virus was coming from Africa,,, Africans we don't really love ourselves

Why has the EFF always have to have something the y are not the governing PARTY

Were they not advocating for a borderless South Africa? This people, the EFFSouthAfrica and their leaders Julius_S_Malema are like toddlers, demanding anything that suits them at that point without looking for the future! UselessEff CoronaVirusSA. EffIsCoronaVirus

I so agree with the EFF!

They like obvious things

Smartest thing the EFFSouthAfrica has said in a while

Then how will he get instructions from handlers?

Open borders?,EFF is a yoyo Party

Probably heard the ban is looming

Open border ?

kaygee_queen EFF must just STFU, they've proven to be nothing more than a bunch of attention seeking clowns and crooks who survive on political expediency. If there ever was a time to put aside playing politics and political point scoring it is now, but the EFF clearly doesn't know when to.

PhutiBartlett Quite a logical thng 2 do , I'm afraid thy might prioritize economic gains ✈🙄 instead of the broader nations' very survival. Their clearly r well informd of the developments Europe n hv established the TRANSPORTERS previous abroad destinatins, EPICENTRE ✔tfq r the waitng 4 🤷‍♂️

Thank you leadership.

Tjovitjo

Leade us EFF...

if it was coming from our African brothers up north, the townships would be burning.

So if we want to come back from South Korea we can’t come back now really 😥😥😥😥

Should’ve happened a long time ago.

So now there should be borders in America 🤔

EF who?

AfricaRepublic EFF have spoken now we wait for the ANC to obey!

But just last week they wanted all borders removed!

I wish the government also hive directive that social gatherings like tarverns, sport activities be suspended for 30 days. The parliament must also be recessed because those are the guys who are always away, they might bring this thing here. In fact those guys must self quarantin

I'm afraid that won't be happening anytime soon, Cyril's friends and bosses will lose money. Not to mention the 'investors'

Our government is likely to announce that tomorrow but in parliament we will hear EFF boasting about it as their brainchild. You know them mos. Anyway it is a good suggestion though it is so obvious. Well done, berets!

I thought the EFF wanted open borders 😂

what! but they were the big advocates for open borders.. now they are running scared, and all of a sudden it just not fit their agenda - cowards

It too late shame...

That's leadership by the EFF

Well done EFF, you know what what's good for our country, unlike CyrilRamaphosa

Eish how will Zuma travel to cuba then?

i thought yall said africa is for everyone ?

I thought no borderline country is their realization, now what

ANC has blocked the noise even to its own member's and supporters who want the samething nina nicimba ningobani?😂😂😂

The EFF EFFSouthAfrica are at least doing something about this issue we facing thank u so much but my question is where is CyrilRamaphosa for he was to be calling the shots

Government is meeting 2morrow decision are to be made.MYANC PresidencyZA

For once i agree with the EFF!!!

In Cyprus they have gone a step further...

It is inline with this suggestion. The EFF has always been on point. CoronavirusInSA COVID19

This call to travel band by the EFF has been long overdue. In addition to the social distancing and hygiene, travel restrictions and tight controls is one of the best ways to contain this pandemic.

😱😱😱leave it to South Africa to be the last of everything! First to speak, last to act! Last to gain colonial and democratic freedom. Economic freedom is a myth as long as such thinking persists!

And Government Just Forget Abt Their Investments People's Are Dying Or They Going To Die

EFF always show the governing party the right thing that needs to be done.

The Canadian Health Minister says ban doesn't work as witnessed in Italy. Italy shut their borders earlier however cases grew exponentially. EFF is a clueless organisation

Am Not An EFF Member But I Agree With Them

And then wen winter his Africa we will be told to do the same, I say the president should not do so

People sgould be a priority not and economy they do not even own..

At a news conference 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I agree with EFF here.

Leadership has spoken. Anc must implement. EFFSouthAfrica
