27 years into South Africa’s democracy, one shudders about the National Party’s (NP) past obsession (after their 26 May 1948 election victory) under their dour leader Dr. Daniel Francois (DF) Malan. Their malicious imposition of ‘Apartheid’ as their official government policy, crudely endorsed ‘institutionalized racism’.

Zimbabwean residents, Dorcas Pavari and Sara Mwareni, are interviewed on the effects of the lockdown on access to food. They spend R20 each day on food for a family of four, which the documentary reveals is only 20% of the amount needed to meet the Basic Nutritional Food Index.
