Good grief why are African countries soooo slow

It is do simple to make a face mask. Where are all unemployed who never can find a job? Now you have a perfect opportunity.

if KENYA can do this ...why can't we ...is it AA = Absent Activity ? bcoz of BEE = Buy Everything Elsewhere (especially from China) ? Re-industrialize & use our industrial might ...for the benefit of OUR PEOPLE ..masks, gloves, ventilators, googles, protective suits, sanitizers

The situation in eMbalenhle, Secunda is really out of hand. Cars and people roaming the streets as if nothing has happened. People walking in groups. Cars full of people others even drinking. Local mini taxis loaded with full passengers.
