Own Correspondent|The south African president Cyril Ramaphosa seems to be caught up between a rock and a hard place with his attempts to combat the spread of the Corona Virus in South Africa.

Christianity being one of the biggest religions in the country, some of its leaders are showing signs of defiance towards one of the safety measures imposed by the president to help fight against the spread of the virus in the country.

The president advised that people should use elbow salutes instead of hand shakes, and hand sanitizers are also to be issues at public spaces where money or goods may be exchanged by hand.

But the most heat seems to be aimed at the quantity measure by which the president has ordered people to avoid any ensemble that will entail hundred or more characters.

Church leaders say that Ramaphosa isn’t a deity and therefore should not be given the power to halt the masses from going to their churches regardless of the risks that may impose on the entire country.

South African citizens have a constitutional right to go or worship as they please but what’s to be done when that right puts the entire nation in the risk of accelerated spread of the Corona Virus.
