In Pictures: Joburg, A Deserted City In Lockdown

Joburg Admin / March 30, 2020

As interesting as it is to see a deserted City of Gold, we urge all South Africans to do their part in flattening the curve. The country is under lockdown for a reason and we ask that you respect that. Social distancing is the most powerful way that we can slow down the spread of COVID-19.

Inner City Pressure

Photojournalists have embedded themselves with the South African Police Force and South African National Defense Force to alleviate pressure in certain parts of the city, such as Yeoville and Hillbrow. The Constitutional Court has also been closed during the outbreak, as pictured below.

Empty Tracks And Runways

The sound of an airplane passing over ahead or the hoot of a train in the distance has become few and far apart since the lockdown has been declared by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
