Full interview: Gary and Andy Cronje - From China to SA and a Covid-19 tragedy

Loading player...
Here's the full half hour interview with South African schoolteachers Gary and Andy Cronje who were based in China when the Covid-19 crisis hit and spent weeks in lockdown there.

Riveting and sad, but with some good practical advice from a couple who have been through the Covid-19 mill. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
