Madonsela’s call comes after the new variant was labelled a “SA variant” by international commentators and on social media. The variant was first detected in the country last week.“It’s clear we need a better communication strategy for the release of information on the discovery of new variants or mutations of the coronavirus.
“We further need political leaders to be deft at dealing with our VUCA world. Key is data and not panic-driven decisions,” said Madonsela. “Decisions taken on Covid-19 by political leaders, anywhere in the world, should also be ethical, purpose driven, impact conscious and committed to serve all in our globalised, interconnected and hyper interdependent world. The transactional [and] panic-driven decisions must end,” said Madonsela.
