The ANC National Executive Council, expressed concern over the politicization of the inquiry into the origins of Covid-19.
South Africa's governing party African National Congress on Friday said that while they support the scientific investigations into the origins of Covid-19, they must not be politicized.
Lindiwe Zulu, chairperson for the International Relations Sub-Committee in the ANC National Executive Council, expressed concern over the"politicization" of the inquiry into the origins of Covid-19. "Research into the origins of the virus is important from a scientific and global health policy perspective and it should not be used as a smoke-screen for geopolitical contestation that has nothing to do with ending the pandemic or understanding how to prevent future pandemics," said Zulu.
Zulu said Covid-19 has killed many people and resulted in vaccine nationalism by high-income countries. She urged countries to rebuild solidarity"as this is the only way to effectively combat the spread and destruction of the virus." Enditem
