[Thread] 1. #Kubayi: We lost 47 500 #COVID vaccines during the #unrest (this has gone up since earlier this week) that were stolen or destroyed. 120 private pharmacies were destroyed.
2. #Kubayi: Most public vaccine sites in KZN were not damaged during the #unrest and this enabled us to resume vaccinations in KZN as quickly as possible.
3. In Gauteng there was minimum interruption to vaccinations because of the #unrest. But people did fear to go to certain sites. But the disruption in KZN and GT was not only to the vaccine programmes, but people were also not able to access chronic meds.

The @IEJ_SA calls on govt to roll out a R70 bn emergency relief package over the next 3 months. This proposal aimed to cushion the economic effects of #Level4 restrictions prior to the outbreak of civil #Unrest sweeping SA in recent days. Although this
mailchi.mp/iej.org.za/thi… ImageImageImage
package isn't a direct response to the civil unrest, the proposals remain relevant. Level 4 restrictions in the #3rdWave, while necessary, will hurt workers, businesses, & livelihoods. Even when civil unrest abates, underlying socio-economic crises will remain, and ImageImage
require even more urgent government action. The rolling out of these relief measures would need to be adjusted, and expanded, to address the damage caused by the recent unrest. But inaction is not an option, and will cost the country dearly.
