JOHANNESBURG – With the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus now at 116 in South Africa, political parties have pledged solidarity to fight the pandemic.
The president kicked off the meeting with political parties on Wednesday by calling for unity.
“We work to ensure that we are able to defeat this virus. I want to thank the leaders for showing a truly united front.”
The DA’s John Steenhuizen followed.
