Show me any African president right now most proactive on Covid vaccines and African economic integration.

Simran94:

LOL, proactive in covid vaccines yet his country is recording the highest case daily? Proactive in Covid-19 vaccines yet two of his personal Security aids contacted the virus?
Proactive in Covid-19 vaccines yet he's endangering the lives of people in other countries by touring around west Africa with the high number of cases in his country?

TMKsouth:


Maybe it's the first time you hear of Ramaphosa, that's why you'll blindly argue he's not the leading covid vaccines voice on the global stage for Africa.

Just because you're proactive on Covid it doesn't mean you won't get affected by it - in fact it can be argued SA had the strictest lockdown in Africa (soldiers on the streets, no alcohol and cigarettes, closed borders, etc) and yet other factors were at play here that need critical thinking. Even Western countries are leading the covid fight and yet have massive infection rates still, including among their own presidential aides.

Nothing stops Ramaphosa from touring because he's got top notch doctors monitoring his health all the time and that's why they detected it early that his aides were covid+. Same applies for the other African leaders he's meeting, so they're safe.

I can't stop assessing the picture of the guard of honor as manned by our soldiers. Almost all those guards in the picture used their nose covers as mouth covering, having to draw down the covers from their noses with the exception of the guard at the right side. With this picture that's sure to travel all over the world being the reception given to S.A President

Pictures tell a thousand story.

Between, the S.A president being honored and awarded by those countries is good for his ego and also several years later when he looks back, it will be a reminiscence of great maiden visit to western African countries. Of course those African countries will also be proud that the awardee cherished the honor they bestowed on him..lol.

As for Nigeria, nooooo, maybe next time. For now, the unverbalized political and economic power stratification struggle between the two, silently rages on.

I think he had a great tour though.

GeneralDae:

I'm sure you know nairaland by now. The Nigerians on this forum like trouble pass garri.

TMKsouth:


LOL

Sometimes I really can't tell whether it's intentional or not. So I end up rebuffing for the sake of future readers that they don't get misled.

TMKsouth:


Nice post

As for wrong mask wearing - it's one of my pet peeves. I just don't understand what the heck people are thinking having their noses sticking out of masks. It's ridiculous after so many months of covid education

joedave:



Yeah,. Though at times, one may tend to allow the sniff of some fresh air. But this can be momentarily. As for those guards...noooo, it's not tenable in a public parade of one of the highest order. Meeting a dignitary from other country in this Covid day and age!

TMKsouth:


Yep, that's the photo SA will pull out should there be news of an outbreak inside that guard camp.

It also shows a lack of discipline or training among the guards. Disturbing photo indeed.

joedave:


You worried about that Really??

You aren't worried about a jaunketting leader and his team of followers gifting the newest variant of Covid... In this time of ",Stay at home if it's not essential to travel"!

Sorry, you made me allude to the contestable origin of the Omicron.

TMKsouth:


LOL, those guards know he's a "junketing leader with the newest variant of covid" so they should have done all they could to protect themselves, but they ALL but one opted to pop their noses out of their masks. Ramaphosa is being responsible wearing his in every single one of those photos in all 4 countries.

Blacks are brothers, even the world as a whole, I hope you don't take negative comment on this platform personally

You should know me now, ke tseya very long breaks and only resurface when I see something "interesting".

Akere that's Bonang's nickname for him, Cupcake. It was on some video that trended last year, early Covid days. So that's we call him.
