ZAMBIA IS NO LONGER IN THE YELLOW FEVER PREVALENT ENDEMIC AREAS SO WHATS THE HELLO DOES SOUTH AFRICA MAKE IT A BIG DEAL TO HAVE ZAMBIANS ENTER THEIR COUNTRY WITH A YELLOW FEVER CERTIFICATE, HOW ABOUT IF WE ASKED THEM TO GET AN HIV CERTIFICATE.
And certify that they are sodomy free before entering Zambia. Why all these shopping malls if we yellow fever.
Look at that map ? There’s yellow fever in some countries that are neighbouring Zambia. Have the Zambian immigration officials ever demanded Yellow fever certificates from nationals from these countries when they are entering Zambia? The answer is NO! This is the problem. You’ve made yourselves a high risk country indirectly by neglecting to protect your own public. It is the same with food and plants. Zambia doesn’t have controls to stop foreign microbes from entering the country by way of food and plants.
THAT’S WHY WHEN U THINK OF SOUTH AFRICANS’ BEHAVIOUR SOMETIMES, IT’S EASY FOR ONE TO ALIGN ONESELF TO THE VEEP GS’ VIEW OF THESE GUYS.
Why not demand for them if the risk is there? Zambians don’t care about zambia
In zambia,we have YF in some parts of the country,the problem is that we have doll clinicians they are not going deep to do diagnoses hence missing the disease
Equally typhoid is all over our country,in some places like Nakonde its an endemic
THE FACT is that there are no laws in zambia politicians,doctors and Layers has destroyed our contry.
we have seen pipo building cancer hospital for what?we have to know the source first bane
AM ALSO TOLD THAT THERE IS AN OUTBREAK OF TYPHOID IN LUNDAZI
Botswana shares borders with Angola(yellow fever zone) and Namibia and NO Motswana is asked to produce a yellow fever card when entering SA.Something wrong with SA.We have allowe it.We must guard our border on the northern part and stop blaming anyone who says something personal about SA.all those Spars Pick and Pay shops you see are from SA-if we are at risk why are they coming to Zed daily to do business in the malls and mines?
