Updated | By Lulutho Mkosi
The general-secretary of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) Zwelinzima Vavi says he has continuously been consuming garlic and ginger after testing positive for coronavirus.
Vavi was discharged from hospital two weeks ago after testing positive for Covid-19.

There were 3300 confirmed cases of coronavirus in South Africa on Tuesday with 58 deaths.
Vavi says he is no longer showing any symptoms of the virus.
“I drank lots of water and rested for hours, drank lots of water and lots of these vitamins C and Iron and have had a lot of garlic, never had to munch garlic in the manner I have been doing in the past few days and weeks now.
“Yet on the 14th day I went back, and I was still positive and it sort of a little setback but I was forewarned that it was possible and that the virus might refuse to go away and that I might need to go back if that happens.”
Vavi adds that his son, who tested positive in March, has since tested negative for the virus.
