A female radio presenter who attended an anti-vaxxer at Groote Schuur Hospital over the weekend has gone viral for a reason that is predictably daft.
Kouthar Davids gained widespread media attention in January after she was hospitalized due to Covid. She spent 11 days in a ward before being allowed to go home and suffered dangerously low oxygen levels.
Following a public crusade in which she posted a video stating that “Covid is real” – Davids was seen leading from the frontlines during anti-vaxxer protests at the Groote Schuur Hospital. Davids now says that she “does not believe in the virus”.
Davids has attempted to backtrack from her position since, issuing the following statement on her Facebook page:
“I’m Pro-Choice. In December, I’ve battled being hospitalized with Covid-19 pneumonia and ONLY through Allah’s Qadr and mercy I was granted help. I will NOT be subjected to engage in an experimental program.”
Over the past 48 hours, the City of Cape Town has been criticized for failing to prevent the anti-vaxxer protest. Although officials can’t dictate the purpose of a public march, they have issued a statement in regards to the weekend demos:
“Gatherings must adhere to Covid-19 Regulations which stipulates that all gatherings be limited to no more than 100 participants, in terms of the Regulations issued under the Disaster Management Act.”
“Residents are encouraged to report non-compliance of COVID regulations to the police. We encourage residents to get vaccinated, and acts in support of SAPS – the primary agency for enforcing public order – and Groote Schuur Hospital.”
