Answer:
"South Africa was already at the precipice of a fiscal cliff and in an economic recession at the time the country went into lockdown," Jannie Rossouw, a professor at School of Economics and Businesses, Wits University, told DW.
Some South Africans point to flaws in the leadership of President Cyril Ramaphosa which has led to the worsening economic situation, while others say Africa's most industrial state was already in a precarious position when the coronavirus crisis began. The latter place the blame on Jacob Zuma, Ramaphosa's scandal-ridden predecessor.

The coronavirus is hitting South Africa’s mainly Black townships harder than areas that were once the exclusive preserve of white people, according to new data that highlights the lasting effect of apartheid-era housing policies.
More than 25 years after the end of white minority rule, South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world, according to the World Bank, with urban areas starkly divided along racial lines.
Townships in the Western Cape province, South Africa’s coronavirus hotspots, are suffering particularly high rates of infection, government tracking shows.
Nearly 12 percent of all infections in the Western Cape are in Khayelitsha, the largest township in Cape Town, even though it has just 6 percent of the province’s population.
By contrast, Stellenbosch, known for its Winelands and a university town, has just 1 percent of Western Cape’s cases and makes up about 4 percent of its population.
Other hotspots include Mitchells Plain township, which has 9 percent of infections.
