Cape Town - "Rise Above", the online lockdown version of "The Big Debate", lived up to the show’s name as it caused a massive debate over the weekend.
“Regardless of how many lives are lost, and that’s obviously not something anyone wants, the fact that the entire economy has been put on hold and possibly won’t recover for years...we may have plunged more people into poverty, potential starvation, unemployment than will die from Covid-19,” he said.
When Tlhabi asks him to comment on Cliff's letter remarks that “we are losing hope” and “we are losing patience”, Khan said that he does not identify with this ‘we’. When given the chance to respond after being asked “who is losing hope?” and “who is losing patience” Cliff said then went on to address the framing of the discussion.
