Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. March 28, 2020 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the declaration of a lockdown in the Republic of Zimbabwe in response to the rising threat of the COVID-19 pandemic; a similar policy has also been initiated in neighboring South Africa where President Cyril Ramaphosa has mobilized the Defense Forces to assist in implementing the mandate; in the Republic of Namibia the People's Republic of China has agreed to build four schools inside the country; and the African Union Commission Chair Moussa Faki Mahamat has self-quarantined after a staff member tested positive. In the second and third hours we continue our focus on the global effort to eradicate the COVID-19 threat. We review a briefing by the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Finally we report on the impact of the social distancing directives in two South African provinces of Limpopo and the Western Cape.
