Executive Director of the Social Policy Institute, Isobel Frye says the COVID-19 lockdown affected the human rights of South Africans.

Her comment comes as citizens mark Human Rights Day on Monday. This is the second year that the day is commemorated under lockdown.

Frye says, “It was felt that the benefits to society of limiting and slowing down infection was justified, so certainly people’s rights to movement and to earn an income and a livelihood was affected. In addition to that, the points of access to food through social security and the socio-economic rights in the constitution were also affected. And also the right to dignity for many people who were not able to move from their homes in very poor settings, it had a negative impact on people’s lives.

“But again I think the inequality and the impacts of COVID-19 on a variety of fronts hit the poor and the vulnerable much harder than the middle-class and wealthy, who sit at home with WIFI access and order in food deliveries. So it demonstrated the dualism and reality between the majority of the poor in South Africa and the few elite.

She says this reaction is illegal, immoral and that the violence and attacks need to be condemned in the strongest ways.

[2/2] Frye says the question of how human rights were impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown is a very complicated and intersectional matter because defiantly human rights were affected, adding that the rights of free movement of people were restricted.
