South Africa says it will be donating around two million Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 jabs to other African countries. President Cyril Ramaphosa says the government wants to show solidarity with other countries on the continent.  He says the only way in which they can prevent Covid-19 transmission and protect economies and societies on our continent, is to successfully immunise a critical mass of the African population with safe and effective vaccines. He says the value of the donation is $18m and will be made available to other countries starting from 2022 through the African Medical Suppliers Platform.
