How the impossible conditions of coronavirus affect black people

These abstract discussions, although important, often overlook how, for instance, the national lockdown has affected black people and how they will continue to be affected post-coronavirus .

In the truest sense, black lives are still sustained by a certain sense of communalism. Regardless of what we have gone through, traces of ubuntu as an ethos still forms part of who we are and how we live. For black people do not die but they pass on, consistent with this ethos certain rituals have to be performed. These rituals have to be performed in a certain way, not because of convenience but as a matter of necessity. The stringent constrains and regulations as a result of coronavirus make this almost impossible.

I am because we are is still the hallmark of how many communities are still able to survive. Practically, you go to the neighbour when you have run out of salt, disputes are still solved among family members and there is a necessary interconnectedness that holds black communities together. I doubt, it seems that the way we live in future will be radically different from what we are used to. This then invites us to think seriously about how we continue living in the wake of a pandemic that threatens the very essence of our existence.

What about your country, Swaziland? You should be fighting for the Swazis with the passion you have!

It affects many people. The impact of Covid-19, has no colour.

But the same government voted by the majority of black people is not taking all those issues into account, it acts in according with the regulations from useless organisations like WHO

But how does it affect his mate Adolf?

I love how democracy works. Even idiots are entitled to voice their opinions.

Couldn’t make it past the first paragraph where “economic impacts” of Covid19 are described as “abstract”.

How newspapers find the views of a psychotic druggie interesting, totally blows my mind.😲

I suggest it is not the virus that is changing people's lives - but was is being perpetrated in the name of the virus.

Isn't this young man deported?
