The health minister reacted with derision to a question about a conspiracy theory that radio waves may have something to do with the problem.
The internet theory that cellphone towers set up to roll out 5G data networks around the world are the real culprits behind people getting sick and dying with lung problems has not met with any approval from Health Minister Zweli Mkhize.

You cannot link the virus to technology.”
