Mzansi is notorious for seeking laughter during a trying time. Some get annoyed at the fact that we turn everything into a joke and not consider the severity of the situation.

Shortly after the president's speech announcing the much needed 21 day lockdown, DJ Cleo took to Twitter to call on all the doctors that might be able to assist in this pandemic.
