People's poet Mzwakhe Mbuli says lockdown is nothing compared to solitary confinement

solitary confinement, said the national lockdown is nothing like“They were kept alone, there was no-one to say ‘the lockdown is over’, they were killed behind bars, Ahmed Timol and others. You can’t therefore equate that,”“You must not compare the lockdown with the state of emergency. During the state of emergency, people were shot dead, people were disappearing. If you want to equate yourself with Mandela, go and stay in jail for 25 years first.

“People can see the figures [they defeat] the myth that [Covid-19] is only affecting white people ... it does not only affect white people.”

Mbuli, you must have liked jail during apartheid, because you went straight back for 6 years for armed robbery.
