Saleshando rejects 6-month State of Emergency proposal

Saleshando acknowledged that indeed there is a scourge being the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), but he said the situation in regards to the pandemic would not call for a six-month SoE since the country has only six known cases of the virus and has recorded only one death.

"Re a itse gore lefatshe le, ga ise le ipaakanye mo go lwantsheng bolwetse jo. Ga re bate gore malwapa a dingaka le baboki ba tsoge ba welwa ke seru, re kopa gore ba fiwe diaparo tse di thokafalang," Saleshando said.
