When the pathogen enters the human cell, it creates a syndrome that complicates the functioning of the body to a point of death. Because of the rapid spread of the virus, the world health organisation declares it a pandemic of public health emergency and urges governments to do everything to shield citizens from its effects. The South African government declares a state of national disaster and promptly quarantines the country for thirty-one days. On the eve of a long-awaited trip to Amanzimtoti for reunion with his fiancé, the national shut down put the plans of a young doctor on hold for an indeterminate period. With four suitcases bundled in the boot of his old sedan-Honda Civic and no room to lay his head in, the doctor finds himself marooned. A brief conversation with his fiancé persuaded him crashing with a cousin in a commune at Kempton Park he thought cannot harm him. Set against the backdrop of a small town east of Johannesburg, a town whose qualities- unrelenting and unquittable-many readers will recognise. The young doctor like the rest of the nation waits for the speedy lifting of the lockdown so things could get back to normalcy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Qriqua Sipho Mzolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798556890558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.46d","brand":"Qriqua Sipho Mzolo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137094660351,"sku":"9798556890558","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46f81ace-146c-4fe8-83db-9d5757e57613.jpg?v=1770166502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-story-about-waiting-qriqua-sipho-mzolo-9798556890558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
