Coronavirus- Conspiracy theories rock Maputo

Coronavirus- Conspiracy theories rock Maputo
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By: Francisco Manhique…It is still possible to move around the city of Maputo in a state of emergency and find a cluster of people without masks. Among the arguments are: We are Africans, this disease kills white people; With African medicine we can cure Covid-19; Our temperatures are not favourable for the survival of Covid-19.

However, on April 10, by the way, Good Friday, it was announced that there were 20 positive cases of corona virus in Mozambique. Not ignoring the question of ignorance, there is also the question of survival, among the people, there are those who work for daily bread, so, among the concerns, there is a possible axiom, “If I stay at home, I will starve and if I go out to work I will be infected with COVID-19”.

The Leadership we want in Africa

This report does not provide answers, but on the other hand, it brings the reality of a people who struggle every day to find what to eat, in this regard, what do we do and what is the government’s role in times of crisis like this?

“A disciplina Salvou a China, A Indisciplina Afogou a Europa e a Ignorância vai Matar a Africa”.

Discipline Saved China, Indiscipline Drowned Europe and Ignorance Will Kill Africa”.

Por: Francisco Manhique

Ainda é possível circular arredores da cidade de Maputo em pleno estado de emergência e encontrar um aglomerado de pessoas e sem mascaras. Entre os argumentos destacam-se:

  • Somos Africanos, essa doença é dos brancos;
  • Com a medicina Africa podemos curar a Covid-19;
  • Nossas temperaturas são imunes a Covid-19.

Entretanto, no dia 10 de Abril, por sinal sexta-feira santa, contabilizavam 20 casos positivos por corona Vírus em Moçambique. Não deixando de lado a questão da ignorância, existe também a questão da sobrevivência, entre as pessoas na imagem, há os que trabalham pelo pão de cada dia, desta forma, entre as preocupações, há um possível axioma, “se fico em casa, passo fome, se saio para trabalhar fico contaminado pelo covid-19”.

Esta reportagem não traz respostas, mas traz por outro lado, a realidade de um povo que luta todos os dias para ter oque comer, quanto a isso, oque fazer? Ou talvez dizer, qual deve ser o papel dp governo em tempos de crise tal como é em tempos do Covid-19.
