Explanation:
By implementing a strict lockdown, South Africa has been able to dramatically reduce the spread of Covid-19. But the data is likely to change as the government broadens its testing to the wider community where TB and HIV are rife.
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to surge around the world, countries looking to flatten the curve have opted to implement nationwide lockdowns in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. South Africa has not been an exception and the results of the lockdown thus far illustrate a positive correlation between the lockdown and curbing the spread of the virus.
No country escapes coronavirus unscathed, but South Africa seems to have done better than most – despite dire predictions that African countries are a “ticking time bomb” of COVID-19 devastation.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has won international praise for a generally sure-footed response, and, after years of bad news, the country is experiencing a tentative feel-good bloom over its ability to pull together.
South Africa has recorded some 26,000 positive coronavirus cases, with over 550 deaths. On 1 June, the government will ease what have been fierce lockdown measures, despite some criticism this is premature. It has warned it will not hesitate to reimpose stringent conditions should there be an uptick in cases.
This briefing looks at some of the positives that have emerged from South Africa’s coronavirus experience, and the potential for longer-lasting changes as the government uses the crisis to drive controversial economic and social reforms.
Less gang violence
South Africa’s notoriously violent gangs called a national ceasefire in April after the first few weeks of the lockdown. “The Council”, said to represent gang leaders from across the country’s nine provinces, declared the truce to allow gang members to help their families through the pandemic.
