The million AstraZeneca doses procured by SA three weeks ago have been sold to the AU, health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize told the National Assembly on Tuesday.

MPs expressed a range of concerns, including about the country's ability to store the vaccines at suitable temperatures, the financing of the vaccines, procurement processes, corruption, possible theft and an over-reliance on other countries.

Mkhize and President Cyril Ramaphosa were among the first to benefit from the initial batch. Explaining this, the health minister said it was to allay fears concerning the vaccines. “Our communities clearly relayed a message to government that, to allay fear and anxiety of the J&J vaccine, it would give our health-care workers much confidence if the leaders took the vaccine.

Africa is a laughing talk in the World becuase we have no regard and respect for our selves. ,.we are a divided continent of selfish, greedy, proud and arrogant creatures....who cannot respect or serve themselves well...Why not return the vaccine back. ..

You sold the weak fake vaccines to your fellow African brother and you call it a win win situations....Is very sad and disgusting to seek how Africans despise Africans ...we have no respect for our selves...we only unite against whites but we destroy our selves. return them back
