Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, has wrapped up his Q&A with doctors in Pretoria.

Here are some key points from the discussion:

– Mkhize estimates about 60%-70% of people in South Africa will contract the coronavirus, but only about 20% of those will be serious cases;

– He believes the number of positive cases will shoot up to more than 200 by Friday morning;

– He said thousands of South Africans would need to be tested per day, saying that the country’s capacity was about 5 000 per day. This will increase to 15 000 by next week, and to more than 30 000 by mid-April;

– Mkhize said the government will need to go out to poorer areas to monitor people, and to test people. This will circumvent expensive medical costs;

– The medical fraternity raised concerns of primary healthcare facilities struggling to keep up with the number of people who want coronavirus tests. They have also said employers are refusing to allow employees to return to work without negative coronavirus tests. Doctors also said they have a lack of protective clothing.

Sport24.co.za | ‘Bullet’ on Jake: Do we really want someone who’s going to clash with Rassie?

Former Springbok hooker James Dalton says he’s not sure whether the Bulls would make the right call to bring former national coach Jake White on board.

White has been in talks with the Bulls and reports have suggested that he is the favourite to be appointed as Alan Zondagh’s successor as director of rugby.

White and Dalton’s history dates back to Jeppe High School for Boys, where the former played in the first team coached by White.

“It’s worrying that they’re considering bringing White back (to South Africa). Our rugby is healthy at the moment and do you really want to bring someone into the system who’s going to clash with Rassie (Erasmus, SA Rugby’s director of rugby) and the new structures, just because he thinks he’s Jake White who won the World Cup in 2007?” Dalton said, as quoted by Netwerk24.

“Jake is not a people’s person. He’s an autocrat. I’m not saying he’s not a good coach, but if you look at the World Cup group of 2007, then there are probably only about six players that [still] want something to do with him. You’d think here is a coach who will be admired for his achievements, but the players from that generation want nothing to do with him,” Dalton stressed.

Dalton, who played 43 Tests for the Springboks between 1994 and 2002, added that he felt South African rugby was in a good space following the World Cup win last year.

“I’ll put my head on a block to say with the structures we’ve got in place, and with the local and international players we’ve got, that South African rugby is in a very strong position. I’d even go as far as saying that I believe South Africa can also win the next World Cup.”

Dalton was speaking in Cape Town at an event promoting his autobiography, Bulletproof: The James Dalton Story.

Shopping centres across South Africa were in a frenzy this week as people rushed to stock up their pantries.

Many shelves at major retailers, such as Woolworths, Pick n Pay and Checkers, were emptied.

Toilet paper, bread, milk and canned goods were some of the items that people stockpiled. 

The shopping hysteria kicked off after President Cyril Ramaphosa declared the outbreak a national disaster on Sunday.
