Durban - South Africans have lost trust in President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government's overall handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to a report by Ask Afrika, even though Ramaphosa's ratings fared better than his predecessors, complete distrust in him peaked this week.
“Perception of government performance in mitigating and managing the pandemic has fallen steeply and consistently. The report showed that 46% of people in Gauteng and 47% people in the Western Cape agreed that government had acted appropriately in managing Covid-19, while people in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal believed the opposite," she said.
"Only 16% of people completely agree that government did enough to support business during lockdown. The highest disagreement lies in Gauteng at 41%," she said. “Citizens are very slowly moving through the stages of grief as the lockdown progresses. The survey showed that 43% of citizens are still at risk to poor sanitation behaviours due to their mindsets, where 21% deny the existence of the coronavirus or are angry about its effects and 22% bargain with their behaviours. Only 21% are accepting the post-Covid reality," she said."The requirement for self-isolation gets the lowest behavioural practice, with women faring better than men.
