Emily Mohapi, 99, was one of the first people from the area to receive a vaccine. She was initially afraid but put on a brave face and was accompanied by Xezwi.
“I was scared because people used to say you die if you get vaccinated. I am now telling others that they said you die but I am still alive. I am thankful that he took me to the vaccination site,” she said.
Mohapi said she felt no pain while being vaccinated.
Xezwi said having registered for the vaccination, Mohapi did not get a confirmation SMS to go and get the jab and that was a problem that others faced. “The system on its own is troubling,” he said.

A research project by the University of Johannesburg has found that the Covid-19 vaccination programme discriminates against the poor.
The research found that people in informal settlements do not have money to travel to get vaccinated or adequate access to register for the vaccination.
The research project took place in Protea South.
