Organisations need to collaborate and connect in order to take the lead
Covid-19 has removed the veil on real poverty in South Africa, showing us all what we have normalised: rampant unemployment and extreme poverty. It was always there; the immediate coronavirus crisis has just reminded us of it.
The work happening on the ground in South Africa has been driven by nongovernmental organisations, the challenge remains in working together with the government.
The challenges facing civil society are great. Extraordinary leadership will be required in the months going forward by nongovernmental organisations. It is time for people to come together with the youth and communities across the divide and ensure that the goodwill and ubuntu that has arisen, will continue to rise and spread, so we can build the South Africa we truly want for everyone.
