South Africa’s health minister says the country's current surge of COVID-19 cases is expected to dramatically increase in the coming weeks and press the country’s hospitals to the limit.

FILE - In this Friday June 19, 2020, a woman wearing a face mask passes a coronavirus billboard carrying a message in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus. South Africa's Health Minister Zwelini Mkhize said Sunday June 28, 2020 the country's current surge of COVID-19 cases is expected to dramatically increase in the coming weeks and press the country's hospitals to the limit.

“We are seeing a rapid rise in the cumulative number of positive COVID-19 cases indicating that, as we had expected, we are approaching a surge during the ... months of July and August,” Mkhize said in a statement. The current rise in infections has come from people who “moved back into the workplace. It was therefore inevitable that there would be cluster outbreaks as infections spilled over from communities into places of congregation such as mines, factories, taxis and buses,” Mkhize said.

The sad part is that Africa has been ill-equipped for ages and has no capacity even to handle an influx of Malaria or Cholera. This pandemic will pose the greatest challenge for Africa yet.

Let's hope Africa can do a better Job than the United States.
