Sizwe Dhlomo took to social media recently to suggest that a thorough count must be carried out on the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines that recently arrived in Mzansi.
President Cyril Ramaphosa and some members of his Cabinet received the first consignment of one million vaccines from India on Monday, 1 February.
Sizwe took to Twitter on the day to share his thoughts on the vaccines that Ramaphosa said will benefit Mzansi's healthcare workers who have been at the forefront of the fight to curb the spread of the virus.
The Khaya FM presenter shared that maybe some of the doses had already been stolen when the vaccine arrived in the country. According to TimesLIVE, Sizwe said in the now-deleted tweet:
"Mhlambe sebeyicwiyile le-vaccine already. I say let’s do a stocktake. Count them all! A million right there in the rain."
