Abstract

The state of disaster announced on 15 March saw South African schools close more than a week before the country went into a hard lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19. Schools reopened for some grades in June with the intent to phase in other grades in July and August. With a technique called photo voice, South Africans shared their concerns with HSRC researchers through photographs and social media messages.
