Bad journalism. Who is the staff writer anyway

Basically they have compromised the police and many others they interacted with. Kill them...

The caucasity

IOL is a racist bunch!

maganedisaP 🙆🏾‍♂️

This family are irresponsible they need to be criminally charged.

what happens to the self-quarantined ? why are they not given similar treatment ?

The unnamed family was sent from hell to spread and infect as many as possible... simple

Seems like these ones were paid to spread this virus

'Capable home aside'

In China someone was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison.

Now would be a good time to name and shame

In Italy it’s now a criminal offense

Whites do as they please in SA a country where black people who have tested negative are quarantined guarded by armed soldiers but whites who have tested positive are supposed to self quarantine in their homes under the care of their black maids

Here you show everything

NO one's name is ever released..it's the ethical thing to do.. Where has one Native persons name ever been mentioned.. Desease has no borders..it doesn't choose it's host, it's race, a person's Status, famous or infamous.. Choose life dude..love your neighbors, your parents etc

Shoot them maybe?

White family?

This reporting sucks. Where they in a panic mode? Cant they self quarantine? Why did they need to be in hospital ?

Abelungu

Have those policemen been tested?

The police were they wearing covid19 police uniform or normal men and women in blue? Curiosity nje

They should be white, if they weren't they would have been named

No name why? No pictures of this family?

Recklessness

Fucken kill them

They must shoot this family

Name and shame

Our ZA system has the ability to work well when all do their part. The silver lining to this crisis is being reminded of this fact.

Sounds about YT

They must be charged with attempted murder

No name, no pics, no details, we now know its white ppl

trevmuchedzi

Very irresponsible of them!

Court documents are public documents... unless declared confidential by the directive of the court.

For sure its a white family cos there is no surname😂😂😂

And they must be charged

No name indeed....we also know that corona is a cover for mass arrest

The same that names a Black woman and m disclosed her age after testing positive for Covid_19

harumutasa When they are no longer ill, send the parents to jail.

Definitely abelungu.

They should be fined or charged with homicide.

Tell us their name and stop being Bias and selective

And it’s a caucasian family that’s why there’s no names and exact location of this case🙄

That's deliberate, meaning criminal.

Guys wake up this more to the story, something must come to monitor every human being on earth, People fear of dying. Strange thing why is not there in russia, Zimbabwe, simple country Madagascar. Or cuba. This year people are going to have microchips, in their skin globally

Shoot them!

Is it a black or white family

Had they been black family, you would name even their ancestors. Mxn.

We are lucky here in SA cos we got robben island as a quarentine area. But ramaphosa is securing it a safe hiding place for him and friends and family

No name no face. They white

The police must now test as well
