Durban - Two superheroes from Empangeni are hopping from CBD to CBD in the province, clad in red spandex suits and with whistles, calling out those not wearing masks and social distancing.

Mbonambi said: “I noticed that in town some people were not wearing masks. That’s when I had an idea about this character that would create awareness - Mr Fighter. I designed the suits and showed it to my friend. I used red because Covid-19 is dangerous and green is for safe. The moment we approach a queue where there’s no social distancing, I throw a green stick down which is two metres long. When the pair see people with their mask on their chin, they blow their whistle to get their attention.

Mbonambi said that after their first stint he thought about adding some female features to one costume. Lindelani Mbonambi and his friend Sibusiso Mthembu, pictured in Richards Bay, travel from one CBD to the next in the province, creating awareness of physical distancing and the need to wear masks.
