One week into South Africa's nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, and it is tempting - dangerously tempting - to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, look at how much has already been achieved. More than 47,000 people have been tested, and 67 mobile testing units have been organised.


There are even drive-through testing centres. Soon the country will be able to test 30,000 people every day. To date, only five deaths from the virus have been confirmed. About 1,400 have tested positive for Covid-19.

'Formidable leadership'

South Africa seems to have acted faster, more efficiently, and more ruthlessly than many other countries around the world.

Heading the fight here against Covid-19, President Cyril Ramaphosa has emerged as a formidable leader - composed, compassionate, but seized by the urgency of the moment and wasting no time in imposing tough restrictive steps and galvanising crucial support from the private sector.

And one rung below the president, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has likewise garnered near universal praise for his no-nonsense, energetic performance, and his sober, deeply knowledgeable, daily briefings.

Its not by power

That country is not our mate, they sure do have their own problems but they are more disciplined people

They are fighting ruthlessly against the ruthless corona virus

Which has already penetrated their backyard

South Africa is an organized country. The zoo is a fourth world country, do the maths.

Imagine what the anti-bubus would say if he tries this in Nigeria!

Sounds like an admission of guilt.

"South Africa has human beings, a zoo has animals".

And South Africa don't have money more than Nigeria o

South Africa is powered by whites, atleast for now. Don’t compare them with Nigeria.

All will be well.

It's his coping technique guys - he can't handle black excellence from South Africa.

He's intentionally ignoring the praise given to the black characters by the BBC, ie President Ramaphosa, Zweli Mkhize & the ANC.

Their leaders fail to deliver basics services and make excuses like south Africans receive services because of the whites..then they all rejoice...Nigerian mentality for you.

Whites don't give a sh*t bout providing for blacks - apartheid is proof of that. Everything we are achieving in SA we are doing for ourselves, including rolling out a "ruthlessly efficient" covid19 response.

In Nigeria they are still squabbling bout it & looting response funds.

Southy southy southy...since dey don't have a government like ours then expect a good response on the virus ish..and our looting government are begging Elon musk online for free gifts

It's the usual inferiority complex. Nigerians got be the most white ass-kissing Africans I know to be honest. The natural response is to praise whitey in everything

Has the money benefited ordinary Nigerians.

It's also a disguise not to acknowledge that black South Africans are doing great things.

They feel it takes the shine off them coz they've declared themselves the giants of Africa who "dominate" over other blacks. Pathetic.

But why are you here? I'm just curious because personally I've never felt the need to be on another nation's forum. Can you post a link of one of yours for me, I won't mind learning new things about your country

We are not doing badly at all. Every single day I get SMS from NCDC asking me to go to their testing centre if I returned recently or if I've come in contact with anyone who has. There are enlightenment campaigns 24/7, the awareness is massive for now. I pray this virus leaves us

How many people have youyou tested so far?

Austine1212:


How many people have youyou tested so far?

The number of people that have presented themselves for testing.

If you think I'm going to insult my country for any reason, you will wait until eternity. I stated what my beloved country has done so far and to me it's commendable.
