These people are caught up in the middle-class dilemma, where it is presumed they are safe because they are financially well-off, when they are actually not.
The recoveries from the coronavirus infections at correctional services facilities, especially in the Eastern Cape, gives us hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel in the fight against the spread of this deadly virus. Day after day, the department of justice and correctional services releases figures of infection cases and recoveries, or those that initially tested positive and were negative in subsequent tests.
I was interested in the Eastern Cape cases because that correctional management area hogged news headlines with the highest rate of infections.However, despite topping the list, the area is making remarkable progress with recoveries. As the department’s Tuesday report showed, 39 inmates recovered in one go in the region, bringing recoveries in the province to 60 cases, with more expected.
While the government is showing great leadership in cases like these, it is slack in other areas. For instance, people staying in the suburbs whose families might have tested positive are left in limbo, or those who want to get tested struggle to connect to get help. They are regarded as too poor to qualify for a housing bond and too rich to qualify for a RDP house in the township. While some government officials in the past acknowledged the dilemma faced by middle-class blacks, nothing was done about it.
