1/ ANTI-CHINESE RACISM & VACCINE HESITANCY IN AFRICA
“No way I’m taking that China vaccine,” is a phrase I’ve heard tons in #Zimbabwe from friends, family, & HCWs, after 200,000 doses of the #Sinopharm #vaccine arrived from China last week.
TLDR-this is racism. Get vaccinated.

2/ While governments have welcomed strengthening Sino-African relations, many people think of Chinese presence as neocolonialism. They’re half right. But it’s more complex than this.

3/ This has made anti-Chinese sentiment rife and acceptable in Africa.
My family members accuse Chinese restaurants of serving up stolen pet dogs to their patrons. Friends say they would never board a “xing-xong” airplane.
The complex geopolitics get conflated with RACISM.

#Twimbos we give you highlights from the post Cabinet Press Briefing As presented by @InfoMinZW Minister Hon. M Mutsvangwa
Cabinet informs the nation that results of the genomic sequencing recently conducted indicate that the type of COVID-19 virus that the nation had in 2020 has receded. There is a 61% dominance of the new South African variant which spreads faster & has a higher fatality rate.
Min Mutsvangwa: Accordingly, the nation now needs to be more vigilant than before and adhere to COVID-19 prevention and control measures. Security personnel have therefore been directed to intensify monitoring and enforcement in order to enhance compliance #OpenParlyZW
@BitiTendai : We want a statement on the vaccination rollout #OpenParlyZW
Misihairambiwi: Zimsec has refused to come to @ParliamentZim and we want to bring a motion of contempt against them . They have denied us access to Grade 7 results indicating that we need to go through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education #OpenParlyZW

@zimta01: Re-opening of schools whilst hordes of people from the diaspora are being bused in from #coronavirus infested regions might be just as good as opening Pandora’s box.
