        Africa the continent of hope and future. African leaders must not wait to be invited to Europe to address African’s problems. Look how weak we are politically, economically socially disorganised and spiritually confused, Covid-19 has exposed us why can’t we learn from this ?

        Closing borders, like Israel and Switzerland are doing, is the right way to go. #Omicron #closeborders

        European countries closing their Borders to african countries but african countries borders must remain open so that european countries can still have access to Africans Resources ,#OmicronVariant wasn’t even found in Africa .

        Irresponsible. If South Africa allows infected people to board flights (they do) and this mutation is more infectious, then better to contain it. Sorry. It’s awful but see sense.

        We DON'T allow infected people to board flights. This mutation has been discovered in countries like Brazil, Belgium and many more with no connection to Southern Africans but because our scientists made the discovery we're the ones being banned?pic.twitter.com/gcc2htL4bL

        The behaviour of closing borders shows the hysteria and the lack of a common strategy to tackle the virus.
