Maimane captioned the post:

“A government that allows this to persist is inhumane. No child should have to swim to get to their classroom. No grandmother should have to enter a drum to cross a river.”

According to the World Bank, although South Africa has made progress in reducing poverty since 1994, the trajectory of poverty reduction was reversed between 2011 and 2015, threatening to erode some of the gains made since 1994, sadly making it one of the most unequal countries in the world.

Many South African’s not only live below the breadline and suffer concerning conditions. The cyber community was gobsmacked at the heartbreaking footage. Several users blamed the government's lack of infrastructure that forced the woman to resort to such drastic and hazardous measures to reach her destination.
