Archbishop Tutu: Coronavirus Exposes South Africa's Inequalities
----------------------------------------------------------------

With over 4,500 confirmed cases, South Africa is one of the hardest-hit
nations on the continent. Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond
Tutu said the coronavirus has brought racial inequalities into stark
relief. "The virus has done the country a ghastly favor by exposing the
unsustainable foundations on which it is built… that must be urgently
fixed," Archbishop Tutu said in a statement. In related news, over 200
doctors from Cuba arrived in South Africa Monday to help fight the
outbreak.
