The former IBF junior welterweight and IBO welterweight holder says he has been disturbed by reports filtering from his homeland of 'some reckless individuals' believing themselves to be immune from Covid-19. Covid19SA

Speaking from New South Wales, the 48-year-old Ndou warned that the current coronavirus situation is far from being a joke. "It's completely wrong and misguided to think that way - this virus doesn't discriminate whether you're black or white, old or young, rich or poor.""Self-isolating is the best way to contain this thing," said Ndou, who is planning to return to his roots in the not"too distant future" to pursue a new career in politics in an attempt to"help heal some of the inequalities".
"You have people living in squatters in overcrowded conditions, but still people should do their best because if they don't, they're not only putting themselves at risk but also others, especially the elderly and those with suppressed immune systems."
