I spoke to President Vladimir Putin. Cyril Ramaphosa President tweeted ” I spoke to President Vladimir Putin and asked for technical expertise on infection control, supply of lifesaving equipment for mobile testing & infection control. South Africa has a long friendship with Russia & they have supported China, Italy & US in the fight against #COVID19 ”
But a lot of people asked him many questions and there were two questions which caught our attention .

Hlupza Da Savage@Hlupza_Khomo·3hReplying to @CyrilRamaphosaIt’s quite funny that we have medical universities in RSA, but all our doctors and scientists are waiting for other countries to come up with a cure for #CONVID19 .Then what’s the use of studying medicine in RSA? I mean there is no even a study going around to try find the cure

Hon. Mancibane @ChimCham7·4hReplying to @CyrilRamaphosaHow did you do this Mr President because Zuma was supposed to introduce you first to his BRICS ‘friends’?
The Russian government have been sending aid to countries in the west especially Italy , Putin understood that there is no need for politics let us save lives first . He even sent aid to the United States which made some people angry in Russia and also in the USA .
“The Russian side offered assistance amid the dire epidemiological situation in America,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state-run Channel One Tuesday. “Trump gratefully accepted this humanitarian aid.”
“We are a generous and reliable contributor to crisis response and humanitarian action across the world, but we cannot do it alone,” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in the statement. “This is a time to work together to overcome a common enemy that threatens the lives of all of us.”
