From: The Socialist Register 2022
$1.90
Vishwas Satgar provides an analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa. Satgar argues that as a corrupt and failing state, South Africa was unable, or unwilling, to adequately cushion the shock to a deeply unequal society from the effects of the pandemic. Topics discussed include the extreme social polarization of South Africa, the government’s neoliberal pandemic response, the African National Congress (ANC), austerity, rising authoritarianism, exclusionary nationalism, vandalism, and much more.
