We heard you the first time 😩

Why don’t you report on this

We need more than this. Its time for reality check. Where are those BIG ADVERTISING BILLBOARDS on roads leading to townships, near stations etc. Have a hard-hitting ADVERT CAMPAIGN showing someone dying of virus, living through virus, in hospital on ventilators etc MAKE IT REAL

Stop worrying. God heard our prayers. The vaccination is here bro.

I humbly suggest they manifest their prominence in setting up and contributing to a foodvouchers fund to help the unemployed, poor and marginalised to acquire foodstuffs while they StayAtHomeSa StayHomeSaveLives

All over around the world celebrates are donating food to poor in these hard time aba balapha are just talking

I think it will be better if our media houses can organize some footages about the Impact caused by this pandemic currently in places like China, Italy and USA.Use such to make an hour documentaries which can show on our TV screens during the day and then at night.Ppl r ignorant.

These celebrities eat during elections and want to eat again when the country is in crisis.

I wanna join them also where can I be able to reach them? Anyone with information please help.

Lovely - can the same group do something similar for gender based violence - more women are murdered and rape daily than people being infected by the virus

While Zimbabwe is in lockdown ,it's a God given opportunity for Ediot MNANGANGWA to victimize farmers,,,,CRY BELOVED ZIM,

But taxis, are running... Spaza shops, are trading... Who is playing their part

Come together to stop the violence please. Idiots won't learn otherwise

Citizens are failed by government. Our government don't have backbone

This is becoming more and more serious, the more we lose lifes the more it gets even more seriuos

Playing our part while you're journalists put leaders to a corner to see all wrong things about lockdown

We can play our part.But if the authorities don't enforce a zero tolerance lockdown approach..how can it be curbed?Relaxing laws daily is actually leading to disaster. Also,it's unfair on the self employed who can't work from home,stay home,,whilst you allow informal food trade!

It is the masses , mostly the underprivileged low income earners and vendors that will soon suffer most should the lockdown fail to achieve results. Its a matter of choice, be killed by corona or risk hunger at home? , NoncebaMhlauli

We have been in our homes since the LockdownSA begin but the amendments by government are not helping the nation.... Clearly we are not pulling the same direction.... I guess Individual super high vigilance is absolutely imperative in such times.

De trial of corona is done in Europe, now de game begin in Africa were all deadly virus a created for, white man don't mind to kill few whites and kill more black so u think is fair, corona is mend to kill blacks like other viruses aids and ibola so nothing changed

Citizens are playing their part. The bigger issues is short shortsightedness from the government on regulations. People can't buy Alcohol or Cigarettes, can't buy items that ARE in STOCK because its not 'essential' and the shops are crippling with the load of people shopping.

God protect us nd give us power to beat covid 19 amen Coved19 Lockdown Quarantine

I think that everyone has been talking a lot and these people seem to not listen. It's ether the government enforce corporal punishment with strict laws, or prepare to witness the death of many innocents infected by people who have rights!

We can all play our part as long Mr Fix All is under Lockdown. How can he have more than 100 people around him and not enforcing social distance. Very disappointed by my leadership
