NATIONAL NEWS - Calls are mounting for South Africa to close borders for Indian descendants due to the deadly coronavirus strain B.1617 wreaking havoc in the country.
The World Health Organisation on Monday announced the world had recorded more diagnoses of Covid-19 in the past two weeks than the first six months of the pandemic, with India and Brazil accounting for more than half of those numbers.
The EFF on Wednesday joined calls for the South African government to place restrictions on all travellers from and to India.
The party said that failure to do so was a blatant failure by the government to follow global trends of the virus and “act accordingly to protect life”.
