> I’m also pleased to advise that owing to an initiative I have been working on with two well known global entrepreneurs, Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Skoll, 1000 ventilators are being manufactured in SA, under free license.

> These will be distributed for FREE to the following countries:

We can produce 10 000 such ventilators if required, and they will be sold at 10%, of the value of a normal ventilator, thanks to the generosity of the philanthropists that provided the technology.
