Residents blame government as Covid-19 cases escalate in Soweto:
Residents of Soweto are in total dismay at the rate of infections recorded in areas such as Dobsonville, Protea Glen and Doornkop sub-districts that collectively accounted for the second-highest Covid-19 numbers in the City of Joburg.
We found Ayanda Sithole, Thapelo Mogale and Emmanuel Mabolane around a street corner and they expressed shock when told about the increasing number of infections in their areas and collectively called for more stringent measures to be put in place. They then blamed the government and accused it of failing South Africans.
“As you can see, I am wearing a mask because I want to protect myself as this virus seems to be more and more detrimental with each passing day. Why can’t the government take our lives seriously,” she asked.
