South Africa Comes Together Politically Against Coronavirus

Anita Powell

   JOHANNESBURG - The spread of novel coronavirus seems to have turned
   everything upside down in South Africa, including its usually fractious
   politics.

   As cases surged past 100, the nation was also treated to a startling
   show of political unity from President Cyril Ramaphosa and his
   bitterest political opponents.

   The president and his rivals stood side by side at a Cape Town news
   conference, although they intentionally kept their distance and did not
   touch each other except for elbow bumps.
