Post-Lockdown South Africa: The Virus Took Lives, The Lockdown Took Jobs

The virus took lives, the lockdown took jobs When a virus spreads, it often brings hardship as a plus one. And many South Africans are starting to feel the heat. Despite the continued rise in COVID-19 cases which have now exceeded 27,000 in South Africa, the country’s lockdown measures have been eased gradually since May 1, with the aim of ending strife by getting people back to work. But for many South Africans, there’s no work to get back to — not anymore. Apparently, there has been a flurry of job losses since the lockdown measures kicked in. Many people who were gainfully employed when the country shut down found themselves unemployed after the phased restart.  South Africa first went into a complete nationwide lockdown on March 26 and businesses began to feel the pressure almost immediately. Despite palliatives and fiscal stimulus from the government, many businesses have been unable to avoid the bloodbath that has seen many workers lose their jobs.
