Emily Mohapi, 99, was one of the first people from the area to receive a vaccine. She was initially afraid but put on a brave face and was accompanied by Xezwi.
“I was scared because people used to say you die if you get vaccinated. I am now telling others that they said you die but I am still alive. I am thankful that he took me to the vaccination site,” she said.
Mohapi said she felt no pain while being vaccinated.
Xezwi said having registered for the vaccination, Mohapi did not get a confirmation SMS to go and get the jab and that was a problem that others faced. “The system on its own is troubling,” he said.

A research project by the University of Johannesburg has found that the Covid-19 vaccination programme discriminates against the poor.
The research found that people in informal settlements do not have money to travel to get vaccinated or adequate access to register for the vaccination.
The research project took place in Protea South.
The way the Covid-19 vaccination programme for the elderly is administrated in South Africa discriminates against the impoverished.
This formed part of the findings by the University of Johannesburg s Social Change unit, which led a research project in Protea South, Johannesburg.

Many of the events were canceled or drastically altered because of the coronavirus pandemic, but Alexander, who served as project director, said she was impressed with how the community “did come together and all the things we were able to do to honor the suffragists.”
The project, which launched with a walk in the Sarasota holiday parade in 2019 and continued through Aug. 20 anniversary, is recalled in the new 70-minute documentary “Dangerous Ladies: Voices of the Suffragists,” which is featured in this year’s Sarasota Film Festival.
