There is an old African proverb that says: “Every misfortune is a blessing in disguise.”
I remember how people almost went crazy about the introduction of a curfew during the lockdown in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Let truth be told, as much as the curfew was irritating and annoying, it saved many lives and unconsciously taught us the importance of staying indoors at night. During the Easter Holidays in 2020, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital reported that for the first time ever, they never admitted any person who needed to be treated for injuries during that busy weekend.
Most of the crashes involved pedestrians and single vehicles overturning. This was in contrast with the 128 crashes recorded over the same period in 2019, claiming 162 lives. During the curfew, people were not allowed to be out of their homes beyond certain times, and this meant that those who would go out to club couldn’t do so. As a result, alcohol abuse declined, and so was drunk driving and tavern brawls.
