President Cyril Ramaphosa says this is the moment when South Africans need to act together as one patriotic nation in solidarity with all those affected or impacted by COVID-19, not just in South Africa but around the world.

“These are challenging times. We are traversing a path we have never travelled before. There are many amongst us who are fearful, uncertain and vulnerable. I call on our people to offer a prayer and a thought for the protection and healing of our land and its people from this disease,” Ramaphosa says.

We thank you Mr President to let us know that when problems arise all we need to do is prayer .Wise man acknowledges that there is God who made us

Thank you for your leadership Mr Pres and putting G*d first in this trial times. Thank you once again for envolving everyone not saying its 'the President Prerogative'.

Ramaphosa been looking terrified since the outbreak, it's like the world leaders met and discussed this depopulating thing and enforced it on all the presidents, now he's scared of the damage its gonna do to the nation

samkelemaseko Malema was right u left everything into goods hands don`t know what to do...

I have a meeting with our club supports at that time. Will see if I can re-schedule.

Bathong tlogelang go tshameka ka rona. 18:00-18:30 ya eng?

Lol Mr Ramaposa please sit down. You pray before not after, i mean even the Pope is silent in such matter. The president must dedicate this time to ways on what can be done to end all this. 4 weeks and still no plan? Enough announcements please. This means we are going to die.

Abramjee Mr Chief in Commander please make it happen hopeless people's lives is in your hands and this dearly viras has opened a big mouth

Bahetene bona ba ka se dumele

Clueless President

This is EXACTLY what we need !!!

Definitely not doing such

Amen.

Abramjee They’ve looted money from the hospital and now he expects miracles.🤣🤣🤣

Abramjee Yeah he is right we will pray xijingping to provide us with an antidote or else dipope sal dans

Abramjee So you're telling me, to put our all our hope into an imaginary white dude in the sky?

I don’t think he should dictate times to pray. The least he could have done was to just say, let’s pray for corona virus to be eliminated in our country. As for time it’s our choice.

BigKid850312 Makasale athandaza yena...

Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess😊

He must pray alone

I will pray with family God will lead us to success Mr president amen, but the best solution to us South Africans is to stay at homestay at home

samkelemaseko from the announcement of the 21day lockdown peoples panic buying & traveling just to be home with family, that has already spread the virus far and wide. The NHS needs to brace its self for a spike in infections in two weeks. The question is are we?

I pray for him to step down

He Never Done this During The Marikane Massacred, God for All, Man for Himself

Yes we will Mr. President. Thank u...!

Pray yes, but we must also read our bible, commit our devotion 100% to Him, seek His will and spread His gospel. goodwill turnSAback2God Start all gatherings/meetings in future with prayer, begin with government & set example.

Yeah that’ll work! 🙄

You guys waiting for that clock to pray Like you haven’t been praying all along 😷
