Covid vaccine

FOLLOWING reports that some employers are threatening to dismiss staff who choose not to receive the Covid-19 vaccine , Acting Health Minister Mamoloko Kubayi says no person should be forced to take the vaccine.

Kubayi, who was updating the nation this morning on the country’s Covid-19 vaccine roll-out plan, said: “We all have freedom of choice. Vaccine is voluntary, whether you take the vaccine or not, please, we urge you not to infringe on the rights of others. No one can force you to take the vaccine, not even your employer.” | African News Agency (ANA)

DUE to the magnitude of the economic and human damage caused by the recent civil unrest, the Kwazulu-natal government declared a provincial State of Disaster this week.

The resolution was taken on Wednesday after it received a progress report, as most of the organs of state had conducted their preliminary assessments to determine the magnitude of their damages. | IOL
