Nurses in SA are battling under the strain of Covid-19.
They fear dying, since many of their colleagues have met that fate.
A new variant of Covid-19 has hit SA, which is said to be more contagious.
Nthabeleng, a 28-year-old nurse on the front line of South Africa s Covid-19 pandemic, is exhausted and afraid.
Each day, she begins her shift haunted by the dread of contracting the coronavirus and dying, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. She finishes it numb with fatigue, but the fear remains.
Every week, a colleague dies somewhere, said Nthabeleng who works in a rural clinic in northern Limpopo.
