This why some people are ignoring the lockdown laws By Mphathi Nxumalo   Apr 3, 2020 Durban - As South Africa enters its second week of lockdown, videos and pictures have been circulating of people defying the lockdown imposed by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Social anthropologists and psychologists have offered explanations why this is the case, and one reason being offered is poverty. University of the Free State social anthropologist Professor Pearl Sithole suggested it was related to poverty as some people had to live in a backyard room with six to 12 people, and in informal settlements there was no access to running water. “It's a kind of catch-22 situation,” she said.
