Toya Delazy is speaking out against countries “forcing” their citizens to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
The musician says it is a “crime against humanity”.
“When France announced that people can no longer vote, shop, party or gym, without the vaccine. I smelt that rat. So you [are] not allowed to exist. Is this vaccine oxygen or what?” she tweeted.

Toya says “vaccines are personal” and people should have the freedom to choose if they take it or not.
“… you take it to protect yourself not for others. I believe in freedom of choice first not FORCING them on young people or else strip away their livelihoods. This is a crime against humanity. We, the 99% that survive are locked up like criminals.”
The ‘Funani’ hitmaker slammed a proposed plan that would ban university students in England from attending in-person lectures if they are not vaccinated.
“Gross violation of youth rights. Blatant crimes against humanity. Even apartheid was a dream for some & no one saw anything wrong it was justified but it doesn’t mean it was right. Deny education now. Are yall seeing this?”

Meanwhile, actress Linda Mtoba says many people don’t know much about the vaccine.
She says door-to-door vaccines could help educate the masses.
“They need to do door-to-door vaccinations for the elderly also it would help with educating ppl cause some are scared & just don’t know enough,” she tweeted.

One Twitter user told the actress that people are not scared and just don’t want to take the vaccine.
“Celebrities must stop promoting this vaccination,” one tweep replied.
Linda clapped back.
“It’s not promoting anything, it’s a choice ppl are making they feel is best for them and their health”.
The 29-year-old says she is excited to get the vaccine next month.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Sunday that 18-34-year-olds can register from September 1.
September 1.
