Accommodate them in Luthuli House and others in Parliament, and you'll see RSA will never be the same, economy will grow, corruption will come to an end, isn't what we all want after all?

But I thought accomodation was sorted in the Free State?

What about a cruise ship?🤔

But they said they were ready, now they are still searching for accommodation... So who lied to who that SA was ready 🤔🤔🤔

Robben Island ffs - get it already. Robben Island... Perfect place for quarantines 😶

In a week China built hospitals for coronavirus. SA wants to take years to repatriate few ppl from China. Is this repatriation on tender or what? Cadres fighting for the repatriation tender or what? Talk is cheap.

There is someone who is about to get this Tender am sure this is going to in Billions of Rands
