'Hungry, afraid' mother of four fears family will be ruined if lockdown's extended

Durban – Hungry, and afraid, this was how a mother of four described the atmosphere at home during the 21-day national lockdown that was implemented to curb the spread of the coronavirus.“We are surrounded by Manyaleni, Khokhoba and Village informal settlements, and we are all battling to survive. But some people still do not take this virus seriously. Some believe that the coronavirus is a non-black person’s problem. This is dangerous.

“People in our area, like my family, live hand to mouth. We had enough to keep us going. But now that people are sitting at home, there is no money. “We are barely surviving the first few days of the lockdown, so if it gets extended, my family would be ruined.”“The virus would ravage us. We are all so close to each other, and there are communal facilities like toilets.

Nana Zulu, 30, of uMlazi, said she was coping with the lockdown as best as she could. Zulu, from Q Section, is self-employed and lives alone.
