What kind of government is this.... 🤷‍♂️

Since you refuse to cancel flights with epicentres of this virus Italy went ahead and did it for you...

Meanwhile tje Chinese contractors working on the industrial park near Musina come and go as they want!

True.

Open borders... growing foreign communities on the outskirts of Joburg. There's no town planning taking place. It's a free for All. Placing the infrastructure under enormous pressure. The poor are most at risk. They are unable to buy hand sanitizers, stocking up on food etc

There is this race that is bringing deceases here..

What a surprise - why would SA be proactive

Well who expected them to do anything responsible anyway.
