On his cellphone, the Oriental man shows me a party of whites dining in rococo splendor at some country mansion. "They get there by helicopter," he chuckles.
Coetzee taught at the University of Cape Town in Rondeborsch. As with college neighborhoods everywhere, political statements are common, so I wasn't surprised to see anti-Covid vaccine fliers there.
Threatened by the Coronavirus, a sweating man crawls towards a carrot dangling over a skull-filled gully, with a false bridge over it. "NEW NORM," says a sign. "We're In This Together," mutter the skulls.

In 2 Â ½ months in Cape Town, I've taken Uber just three times. Two of those drivers told me about Covid vaccine deaths.
Shaun, a Mozambican immigrant, told me about his 23-year-old friend. Vaccinated on Friday, he felt unwell so went to a clinic on Saturday, where he was assured he was fine. Sunday, he went to a private doctor and, again, was told there was nothing wrong with him. On Monday, he died.
"Before he was vaccinated, we even joked about vaccine passports. He said, 'If we don't have vaccine passports, who will buy food for us?' We were laughing about it."

"So he had no choice."
"No choice."
"And you can't even sue them!"
"No, you can't sue them."
"What will happen to his wife and children?! You said he was only 23. Did he have a wife and children?"
"Yes."
