AMERICANS, FOREIGNERS DESPERATELY TRY TO LEAVE SOUTH AFRICA AHEAD OF CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN
Kids are playing soccer and marbles in the street and in groups. The only thing I see is danger,”  Soweto resident Thabo Moloi told Fox News. “ When are we gonna take this serious? These (kids') parents really don’t have self-love.”

Video from a Cape Town suburb showed a soldier smashing a beer bottle and slapping and kicking a man alleged to have been drinking in public, something banned during the lockdown.

Despite over 1,000 infections and 2 deaths,  many are not taking the threat the virus poses seriously. Naledi Radebe, 29, summed up how she and many felt:
“It was like, there’s this flu, that’s moving around in Asia, and killing old people. And on this side, there was a lot of “oh, it’s not going to affect Africans.”
Radebe now thinks differently: she was declared positive with Covid-19 after arriving back from the United Kingdom.
Some are alert to the dangers: "I won’t be surprised if infections double this week, and deaths rise," posts Nthato Mthimade on Twitter, “ because South Africans can’t take anything seriously”.
South African authorities are on record as wanting to stop the virus spreading into the crowded townships, and the so-called informal settlements, where often one-roomed shacks are packed next to each other.
“The Coronavirus pandemic has shown up global inequality and laid bare the dire circumstances that people live in," Asanda Ngoasheng, an independent political analyst, told Fox News. “[Coronavirus] also affects the middle class and wealthy people, and the fact that it is easily spread has forced everyone who usually didn't care about the state of inequality to care.”
Ngoasheng adds they “suddenly care because they realize that if people get infected, they could infect them,  as they provide service to them.”
