He has been addressing the country virtually following on the national address by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday night.
Mkhize says as vaccines are being developed, they're learning more about which ones would be best suited for us.

"What we are looking at is which vaccine has got good efficacy and is available and affordable. So we are looking at those factors...So all of them are being evaluated."
Mkhize says they have also decided to work closely and in a more transparent manner with unions.
"We have an agreement with the union that they must have a password to the departmental stock visibility system that will be able to detect the movement of PPEs from supplier to storage."
