Legendary Mzansi singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka has been dragged on social media for her views on the Covid-19 vaccine. The songstress took to Twitter on Monday night, 18 January and asked why there's still no vaccine for malaria and HIV.

The Umqombothi hitmaker questioned why it only took a few months for scientists to develop a vaccine for coronavirus while other deadly diseases such as HIV and malaria have been around for way longer than Covid-19.

"Vaccine, vaccine. We still don’t have one for malaria nonr for HIV but in few months we have one for Covid, can someone tell me how possible is this? @WHO @EU_Partnerships @UN @NEPAD_Agency @PresidencyZA @Davos @unwomenafrica."

"That’s insane! Both malaria and HIV are completely different than Covid and quite a bit more complex. Do you just repost silly stuff? Lol"

@rodneyMnkosi added:

"I share the same frustrations with you Ma. Kodwa you need to remember that all this deadly viruses are man made simply to depopulate Africans and are mostly supported by the very same organisation that you are seeking answers from. So basically you're just hitting on an empty tin."
