Sile2okuhle Lockdown Journey

Image
 It has been over 135 days since the lockdown journey began, and we have seen the world evolve in different ways. Many of us have lost our loved ones due to COVID-19, some are in hospitals, not sure what tomorrow will hold,  and some have lost jobs, but we are still trying to make ends meet in these trying times.
