Honestly she is more worried about opening schools early, but don't care about our children's lives, our children are important 2 us an we as parents don't have to listen 2 everything she says, we should have a choice on what we would like 2 do wit out children. If the cases are higher by the 16th we should not send our kids 2 school. If anything happens 2 our kids this minister can't give us our children back. So instead of thinking about opening schools early an thinking of the school fees. It's time u think of the children.

[thobiledhlamini]

I am scared of taking this vaccine. Where has it been tested that it works on the human body? I just think of the implications of the HIV treatment back in the late 90s and early 2000s
