Some of Africa’s most powerful public officials including Vice-Presidents and Cabinet Ministers from South Africa, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Tanzania have become infected or lost their lives.

As the World Health Organisation posits, nobody is safe until everyone is safe. Thankfully, we finally have movement on the global distribution of Covid-19 vaccines. We must continue to follow public health guidelines, mask up, sanitise and keep physically distanced.
