Thousands of people were expected to visit Port Elizabeth for the event.The Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race has also been cancelled because of the coronavirus.
Porous or not we must implement travel ban.
Yes but it'll minimise the impact WHO we won't cope if we get high infections like Europe and deaths.
WHO must be updated. What borders are they talking about we have no borders the neighbors just walk over SA is a free for all according to the ANC.
My biggest concern is health care facilities. If Italy cannot cope that has better health care than us.... Did they start training nurses etc.. WHO asked all countries to look after health care facilities and start training nurses... I hope do hope so..
Who is the WHO to tell us what to do?! Fukc them.
Wonke amehlo athe njoooo kwi Afrika the whole world there is something about africa i am telling u nasi
Unathi_Kwaza We are in for a rodeo ride.
magsber Surprised why?
They are talking absolutely twaak, tgey need to pay attention on getting a vaccine for the virus instead of talking nonsense, to start with Africa never had borders, further to that the virus is brought by non Africans in Africa.
Kak... We see right through your bullshit.
But to my understanding we still alive that mean it a miracle that amazing
But all cases of corona have been brought by people outside the Continent and they will keep bringing it until we all die.
Let me say this: kak. Our neighbours are not the current issue. Europe is. And if we dont stop the influx of the virus from there, this virus will spread and I would love to know what will happen if we have to self issolate in a RDP house with 10 inhabitants.
MorningLiveSABC CyrilRamaphosa :Whomever that's inside SA must stay, whomever that's outside must stay outside unless whomever that wanna come in is being searched thoroughly and whomever wanna go out musnt come back wifa virus. Finish en klaar
Only SA has porous borders. This is the only coubtry at risk.
The danger is not within us but from outside...Let isolate Europe and other continents. They are the problem. All the suspects who invaded Africa like Angry Birds came from Europe...!!
That said when Europe is at the epicenter of the problem.... abelungu yazi
Lets close them anyway
Nonsense, Europe has porous borders but they have restrictions and shut down. Watch who you take advice from!
They're talking about SA 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️.
First Germany 'donates' to SA govt, now the Europe using WHO to provide propaganda. Europe is spreading Covid_19 infections in Africa and in SouthAfrica. We need to slow the spread with TravelRestrictions with Europe, US and other high risk countries.
🙆♀️🙆♀️🤣🤣🤣
They are discouraging the ban because probably its their plan to continue planting the Virus in Africa How comes First cases happened to be foreigners?. Covid_19
You are all getting it wrong. We lock down Africa. It's either you are in or out. Is that rocket science?
leaders come up with ideas to combat that they get shot down and the idea of 'Borderless continent and one africa' get's raised. Now that there is a global pandemic the idea of borders is being spoken about ? CyrilRamaphosa needs to close the border border to affected country's.
First it was a question of 'why Africa is not affected? Now there are several cases because of people who traveled abroad, now we can't ban travels🤔
All African countries didn't ban traveling but here we want to ban as if we know better.
South Africa. We will pay foe not fixing this
South Africans are fools,they just jump into attacking their President for nothing. Why can't we normalize to do research before we sound naive while trying to be smart
Plays mampintsha- Bayanya laba tseg!!
All the cases so far are flying in from Europe every day. Everyone including the American president has issued travel bans with Europe. African coutries have issued travel restrictions with Europe. Except SA with leaders mote worried about an economy than human lives.
Its the European ppl frm their countries tht are coming here nd infecting us. Our borders hve been porous nd we hve beeen good.... The problem is Europeans coming in by sea nd air
mvelasesm you see...
And yet African leaders are happy with this
They talking rubbish because people who are spreading this virus are those who visited Europe so how come if south africa ban international travel it won’t be effective.
We have open borders just like EU WHO?
People who have been insulting our President Ramaphosa where are you mesunu
but it was very effective during EBOLA OUTBREAK ? here we have a virus affecting the AFFLUENT so different rules ..... but when we were affected, the 'EFFLUENT' .....then lots of rules were applied ….
ThabisoTema this was my point the other day. There are people who fly to neighboring countries and come in to southafrica via porous borders. Covid_19
But effective in Europe. Kunzima ukuba um Africa
no this thing is coming from Europe it not about boarder we are being taken for a ride here
WHO is very clever 😁
Obviously, especially South Africa
