I seem to have a problem with most stories written by most journalists on this story since it surfaced.The stories have not been issue based and quite shallow to say.E-tv in South Africa lied that the woman was a Zambian but what we all know is that she is a white South African born citizen working in Zambia.The paramedic was also white and South African.It was only the Times News paper of South Africa that gave us the light. The impression at the moment is that Zambia is having this deadly virus when no Zambian has died from this mysterious desease. Most South African do not want to take responsibility and want to blame others for failing to deal with their problems.Now Zambian will be harrased at airports, boarder posts and wont be sure our government will protect us.Just because some white fella popped into Zambia doesnt mean she got the virus from there.The white woman was South African but media reports here in S.A say she ws Zambian.disgusting shallow journalism at its worst. And how come the mysterious virus is racist and killing white pipo?
