Programme Director allow me to pass my salutations to:
My Colleagues in Exco, all fellow staff members of the HDA:
Most importantly, our young members of the HDA family.
Compatriots,
It is now just over 100 days since the first case of coronavirus was identified in South Africa.
For 100 days we have been living in the shadow of one of the greatest threats to global health in over 100 years.
The disease, and the measures we have taken to fight it, have caused massive disruption in the lives of our people, bringing our economy to a standstill and threatening the livelihoods of millions.
