Netball South Africa President Recovers From Coronavirus

Netball South Africa President Cecilia Molokwane has recovered fully from coronavirus after being quarantined for past two weeks, the federation said in a statement on Sunday.

Molokwane had tested positive of the deadly virus after travelling abroad on 2023 World Cup business.

“Following my results, both my Medical Doctor Sam Manthata and MEC for Health in Limpopo Dr. Phophi Ramathuba recommended that I be in quarantine for at least two weeks before I can retest again,” she said in a press release on Sunday morning.

Molokwane revealed that this has been a nightmare experience and urged everyone to take the virus seriously.

“It is such an exhausting exercise however it’s worth it to be self-quarantined for my sake and the sake of those close to you. I have a 3-year-old daughter not being able to even give her a hug is a nightmare; one needs to be self-disciplined because the virus doesn’t move, however people do,” she added.
