Religious bodies across the spectrum have launched a movement called the #VaxuMzansi Campaign in an effort to vaccinate up to 70% of their congregations against the Covid-19 virus.
They would also co-ordinate vaccine drives and assist in closing the vaccine access gap among members of their congregations.
“Campaigns like this really set an example for the rest of society. The goal of vaccinating at least 70% of South Africa’s adults will not be achieved without an all-of-society approach.” Hurter Spies said that while opinions vary, there was an emerging consensus that some form of balance had to be achieved when weighing up an employer’s obligation to provide a safe and secure working environment, vis-à-vis, an individual’s rights as enshrined in the Constitution.
