Said Ramaphosa: “It is in the best interests of all that as many of us receive the vaccine as possible, but I want to be clear: nobody will be forced to take this vaccine. I want to repeat: nobody will be forced to take this vaccine. Nobody will be forbidden from travelling to wherever they want to travel to, including from enrolling at school or from taking part in any public activity if they have not been vaccinated. Nobody will be given this vaccine against their will, nor will the vaccine be administered in secret or in some dark corners. Any rumours to this effect are both false and dangerous and we would like those who are spreading these rumours to stop.”
