It takes thoughts of summer to survive winter; of sunshine to survive a storm. South Africa registered its first Covid-19 fatalities and cases are well over 1000. These numbers will increase significantly before we “flatten the curve”.
Our 21-Day lockdown took effect on Friday, with a few transgressors being taught a bitter lesson. Small to medium enterprises have been forced to shut; with banks reluctant to offer a universal debt-freeze. Chief executive of Edcon, Grant Pattison, broke down on Bruce Whitfield’s Money Show on Radio 702 in a hint to the gravity of destruction we face. Crisis brings out the worst in some, but this could unearth the best in us.
We have deployed some resources to where they are most needed, with uncharacteristic effectiveness and efficiency. After two decades of protests over the lack of basic amenities, the pressure to wash hands and observe the lockdown forced our bureaucrats to expedite procurement and implementation. Public buildings have installed dispensers of sanitisers at entrances.
Wellness experts have struggled to teach us the value of family time, playing with our children, gardening or simply meditating. Even though self-isolation is impractical in the insalubrious conditions in which millions of informal settlement dwellers are forced to live, South Africans have not acted in unison like they now are spending time at home.
VictorAfrica We've been too dependent on imports(we import things we shouldn't) and I believe this will teach us to look locally & reinvent ourselves. I haven't seen taxi ranks been cleaned like that in my life & I hope such services will continue. Some gents washing their hands for a change!
