Edwin Cameron | To enforce the Covid lockdown, did we wage a war on the people of South Africa?

PHOTO: Marco Longari/AFP The trauma of both the Covid-19 illness and death, and the securitisation and militarisation of this public health emergency, will for years be marked on bodies and communities, writes Edwin Cameron. Soon a sombre anniversary will fall on our country.  This week, it s a year since 11 March 2020, when the World Health Organisation first declared Covid-19 a pandemic.  On 15 March 2020, President Ramaphosa declared Covid a national disaster.  A couple days after our national Human Rights Day, on 23 March, he announced a nation-wide lockdown - among the strictest anywhere.  The President s words were important - for they set the tone for what followed.
