The EFF said the government had effectively halted its fight against the coronavirus which, according to the party, would see many black people disadvantaged as they were now forced to go to work and put their lives at risk. LockdownLevel3
The party, which had mostly remained silent during the lockdown, said President Cyril Ramahosa's announcement on Sunday had shown the government's resignation in fighting to save its citizens' lives against the coronavirus.
"Today, Ramaphosa told the nation and its citizens "it is in your hands". This is because from here on the government does not have a plan that will deal with Covid-19. The lives of black people are lives of overcrowding, dilapidated healthcare, sanitation and housing. The virus will only thrive under these conditions. Many people will die because of no access to healthcare and treatment," the party said.
