THEMBELA KHAMANGO | If you braved a cold winter morning to go and queue outside a bottle store to buy alcohol, own it – you are an alcoholic.

This was shocking to witness; there is nothing wrong with drinking liquor, I do too. But if you are willing to wake up at 6am on a cold winter morning just to go and buy it, clearly you have a problem.

As I watched guards reminding crowds to social distance, I wondered if they forgot that coronavirus was a reality, that had already killed hundreds locally? Experts said winter would be a peak season for the virus and estimated that by later this year, 40,000 people would have died. It could be me, you, anyone, as nobody is safe. Each day I have had to leave my house to go and buy food for my family, I worry about what if I contract the virus today? I worry about what will happen to my young kids if I do not make it, as the world is a cruel place without a mother.
