The head of child health unit at the health department, Dr Lesley Bamford, says there has not been a measles surge specific to South Africa yet. “The figures that were quoted by the WHO and UNICEF are the global figures. So there certainly has been an increase in a number of cases globally. So, certainly, we are concerned and need to be alert to the possibilities and are monitoring carefully,” explains Bamford.
Im willing to be an errand boy, a gardener or any form of odd job just to feed my children🙏🏾. They've been going to sleep on an empty stomach and that cripples me as a father. I humbly ask for any tinned food or grocer you don't need🙏🙏
