South Africa has the highest number of Covid-19 cases in Africa. The backbone of the country’s response were community health workers, their mission was to identify the infected. Predominately women, the community health teams worked on a frontline running through South Africa’s stark inequalities – some of the richest neighbourhoods in Africa and some of the densest townships, where social distancing is impossible. Filmed over six months, Ö÷²¥´óÐã African Eye follows Tshego, a nurse and mother from the Alexandra township in Johannesburg, fighting a virus that brought her face-to-face with stigma, poverty and corruption.
