“Adv Sikhakhane SC has asked me to convey its deep and sincere appreciation to all front-line workers, nurses, doctors, physical therapists and hospital staff who work tirelessly to save lives during the pandemic. Their unwavering commitment to healing the most vulnerable often puts their own lives and those of their families at risk. In particular, he thanks the nurses and his doctor for their dedication and ability to save his life. “
Rajab-Budlender said the association’s national executive committee urged all South Africans to follow government health and social distancing protocols and put the collective good before individual wishes this holiday season.
“It is our collective responsibility to protect each other from this scourge. As we fight this next wave of the pandemic, our individual responses to the virus will determine the collective fate of the country.
“As in so many other areas, Covid-19 has highlighted the great disparities in our society between those who have access to the best possible private healthcare and those who simply cannot afford private healthcare, the majority of whom are black.
“Covid-19 hits rich and poor, black and white alike, but its effects will be felt the hardest among the most vulnerable, the poor and the unemployed. The vast majority of South Africans are often unable to isolate themselves or avoid crowded public spaces. They will depend on overcrowded public hospitals with dedicated doctors and nurses, but overworked and under-resourced. “
