Cape Town – Singer and songwriter Amanda Black has taken to social media to demand a question and answer session with the South African government over its proposed ‘vaccine passports’ plan.
“I really want to understand what is the purpose of the vaccine passport when the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission, infection and has breakthrough infections. We need a Q&A,” she tweeted.

President Cyril Ramaphosa recently announced plans by his government to introduce Covid-19 vaccine passports amid widespread scepticism of the jab.
In a televised address to the nation, Ramaphosa stressed that an immunised adult population was key to fully reopening the economy and avoiding a fourth infection wave.

In two weeks, we will “be providing further information on an approach to ‘vaccine passports’, which can be used as evidence of vaccination for various purposes and events”, he said without providing further details.
Following, Ramaphosa’s announcement, the Amazulu hitmaker has not been afraid to express her views concerning Covid vaccination.
She has been trending and catching strays a lot lately on Twitter with her controversial posts.
Why is it a personal choice? As you have all said about the pros of the vaccine, there are cons, and if anything happens which the Pharma company has no liability if it does,one can live with THEIR decision, and if all goes well, one can sleep well knowing THEY CHOSE uncoerced.

All I am advocating for is right to choice and unity. Can we not divide ourselves, we all need long lasting solutions to this.
We are fighting against each other whilst we are all trying to figure out the best solution for ourselves individually and out families. ❤️
