Some African governments are enforcing lockdowns brutally

—a vicious, three-foot-long whip traditionally made of rhino hide. That symbol of brutality was banned in 1989. But it is back in use as police enforce a 21-day lockdown meant to slow the spread of covid-19.

Many African governments have told their people to stay at home to slow the spread of the virus. On March 22nd Rwanda became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to impose a nationwide lockdown. Others have followed suit, including Botswana, South Africa and Uganda. On March 30th Nigeria shut down Abuja, the capital, and Lagos, Africa’s largest city.

Yet these measures are fiendishly difficult to enforce. Lagos is not London. Roughly half of African city-dwellers live in slums. Most earn a living doing informal work. There is little space to isolate oneself and a persistent need to go out for food, water or work. Policies to replace lost income have been slow in coming.sjambokking

After reading the two articles you wrote on South Africa today, I don't know whether to believe anything you write because both articles are made up from scratch.. none of what was written is true to begin with.

It's Africa, what do you expect?

You used the exact same article about the nurses being shot with rubber bullets, what’s up with that?

well, what you support them to do? Sing protecting human right in the pandemic together? They should do the right things to protect human life of people all over world, but not few months human right.

Everyone human rights. I have the right to be protected from this disease and if the marauding mobs want to violate that right then whatever for e is required must be used

'Some governments are enforcing lockdowns brutally' there, fixed it for you.

Try India.. Now that's nasty.

They do that because lots of drifters are carrying or receptive under contagious virus. Lots of young prople also dies. The only way to prevent virus from growing is everybody stay in.

Did anyone write this about China?
