South African Government does not care

I had 1 of the worst experiences at Grey's Hospital due to this Covid-19.

I was in contact with someone that was infected so I visited the hospital to get tested. The doctor attending did not sanitize in between swabs, then the actual test on Indians was done in both nostrils and in other races only 1 nostril. I had went in for testing on the 1st of July, I got my result on 13 July. That is 12 days later and I am positive. I could have died in that 12 days and no one would have even known. The south African government has put us in lock down without a source of income. I work in a bar. From 27 March I have been unable to take care and support my family. From 27 March 2020 I have been at home unable to make a living. I had app**** for R350 covid relief fund, but the government never got back to me regarding it. I haven't a clue what type of household can survive on R350pm I have not known a single person that can survive on 350 lights and water unless they *****ing it from the government. Even a government given household, needs more than R350 a month to survive. The South African government does nothing for the Indian community in a whole. Although we achieved democracy as a country, it sure does not feel democratic.... From March till July there hasn't been any income earned by me. And now I have to wait till August to see where I stand. Then what of the staff that works under me. All of them are also out of job. Not even R1 from solaridarity fund was used on us. Noone cares in local government. Applying for social grants but nothing coming through and Noone from government gives a flying **** about it
