Be concerned with unemployment & poverty not unvaccinated.

We don't need that sh*t we are not going to die, still we are not sick. Please stop it. Those who want to, they will go and vaccinate. 😠

Kuyaxaka yini ngale vaccination yakhona

What about high number of unemployment people?

That's good

Keep your vaccines

They must stop worrying about people who don't want to poison their bodies and start worrying about corruption and job creation... We are tired of hearing about nonsense, we would be glad to hear good news instead.
