Dear @CyrilRamaphosa Thank you for advising us that there is a new variant around. Leave it with us to decide how to behave. Many thanks. We don’t need you to instruct us. Give us the facts and let us be. #FamilyMeeting

I've never seen a president who is absent to attend other matters facing SA, from Corruption, unemployment, human trafficking and other issues. Always quick to decide and appear on our screens when it's covid related and lock us down. #FamilyMeeting

The saddest part is that even if there were to take us to Level 5…South Africans will only protest on twitter 💔#FamilyMeeting pic.twitter.com/SuhEkkm64M

I think we've reached a point where we no longer need lockdown. Our government must leave everything in our hands, if you want a vaccine it's okay and if you don't want it's still fine.#FamilyMeeting
