BREAKING NEWS!!!

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is receiving treatment for mild COVID-19 symptoms after testing positive for the disease Sunday, his office said.

Ramaphosa started feeling unwell and a test confirmed COVID-19, a statement from the presidency announced.

He is self-isolating in Cape Town and is being monitored by the South African Military Health Service, the statement said. He has delegated all responsibilities to Deputy President David Mabuza for the next week.

Ramaphosa, 69, is fully vaccinated. The statement didn’t say whether he had been infected with the omicron coronavirus variant.

Last week, Ramaphosa visited four West African countries. He and all members of his delegation were tested for COVID-19 in each of the countries during the trip. Some in the delegation tested positive in Nigeria and returned directly to South Africa. Throughout the rest of the trip, Ramaphosa and his delegation tested negative. Ramaphosa returned from Senegal on Dec. 8

Ramaphosa said his own infection serves as a caution to all people in South Africa to be vaccinated and remain vigilant against exposure, the statement said. Vaccination remains the best protection against severe illness and hospitalization, it said.

People in South Africa who have had contact with Ramaphosa on Sunday are advised to watch for symptoms or to have themselves tested, it said.

South Africa is currently battling a rapid resurgence driven by the omicron variant, health officials say.

The country recorded more than 18,000 new confirmed cases Sunday night. More than 70% of the cases are estimated to be from omicron, according to genetic sequencing surveys.

After a period of low transmission of about 200 new cases per day in early November, South Africa COVID-19 cases began rising dramatically. On Nov. 25, scientists in southern Africa confirmed the omicron variant, which has more than 50 mutations.

Omicron appears to be highly transmissible and has quickly become dominant in the country. So far, the majority of cases have been relatively mild and the percentage of severe cases needing oxygen have been low, say doctors.

This is serious.It is a breaking news

Buhari is really immune to COVID-19..he has been exposed to all variants but he tefloned it all

Variant well received in Nigeria

Only God knows the number of Nigerians President Cyril Ramaphosa infected with the virus when he visited the country. Nigeria is a country where anything goes. I wish him a quick recovery.

And he met the Sudanese clone at his residence.

We warned them ooh , everyone with Sense did but as usual they did what they wanted ...well let's just see

Well with uk borders closed to Nigerians we wait and see where buhari runs to for his immunity shots he has been taking all these while

Ramaphosa, 69, is fully vaccinated.

Fully vaccinated, still tested positive to COVID

Bubu ooooo

.... and he met with our clueless president last week. Are you thinking what am thinking?

Nigeria and their crazy government. The only reason why Nigeria is banning flight from UK, Canada and Saudi Arabia now is because they just want to retaliate because those countries banned Nigerians from entering their country too, not because they want to curtail the virus. Useless government with mumu authorites

Hmmmh

Speedy recovery your excellency.

And he was in Nigeria ooo.
Abi the thing no dey infectious again?

Sorry Mr ramaphosa

Can’t say much

Click like if you think all black African leaders deserve to be put to death

Their president falls sick and gets treated in south Africa. In Nigeria, even local govt officials flies abroad for headache

Very anyhow country.

as Teflon Don wey him be�

When will bubu test ➕➕➕ ❓☹️☹️☹️

All these our politicians, including Buhari, always think they are superhuman. Not only didn't they take covid seriously until it at started killing their friends, they also continue to treat it with light gloves because they think they are vaccinated and so can't catch it. Aso rock didn't even implement any serious procedures until Abba Kyari died. Now, until Buhari catches this thing now and dies off, that's when they'll realise the visit of the South African President was a mistake. They just never learn. Like say dem be stubborn goat.

Cant remember the last time I wore a nose mask. Here, even banks are tired of enforcing masks cos this covid thing, na THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE LESS YOU SEE.

Ok o

Yet they welcomed him here with almost a fanfare. SMH

So much for bringing lie lie investments

This whole Covid 19 brouhaha is turning out not to be natural...its the devil trying to enforce the new world order.The Antichrist will use Covid 19 vaccine as its mark 666. The plan to control the life of humans started with the Covid vaccine. Its a circle that won't end till the whole world is under control. This is my personal opinion though.

lol Mr Omicron....

After u don go around to share Omicron to ur counterpart in Africa.....

The man dey do waka waka upandan

Are you thinking what am thinking.

Bubu and his team suppose follow suit..

He didn't do well he should have shaken bubu well when he came

Now he can sit his butt down
