As the world fights to control the spread of Covid-19 virus, president Ramaphosa has taken harsh but necessary steps to protect the people of South Africa. These steps, in the form of businesses being closed and overall lockdown, has had an incalculable impact on South Africans. While the government has always prioritised the safety of its people during this pandemic, the time has now come to address other vital aspects such as the economy and education.
Comparatively, South Africa has fared better against Covid-19 than many nations due to, in most part, the foresight of South Africans in taking this pandemic seriously and adhering to safety protocols. It is now critical for South Africa to ready itself for the new opening of levels of business and life.
