More restrictions are needed as Gauteng, once more, becomes the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic, writes Mbhazima Shilowa. You can imagine the spread, unless Covid-19 health requirements of sanitising (by people and of transport), physical distancing, the wearing of masks and hand washing are followed. As Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba remarked over the weekend, Limpopo is part of Gauteng when it comes to Covid-19. In addition to the disregard for Covid-19 health requirements by residents, the Eastern Cape's problems are compounded by incompetence, fraud, corruption and the neglect of health infrastructure by successive administrations over the last 26 years without any consequences. As the president said several times, it is in our hands to limit the spread of Covid-19.
