JOHANNESBURG - A year ago, on 26 March, South Africa entered lockdown for the first time.
A lot's happened since then, with the level of the lockdown changing to manage COVID-19 infections and deaths.
The country is currently on lockdown level one, but concerns of a third wave continue ahead of the Easter long weekend.
Lockdown restrictions and measures to combat the virus led to a rise in nefarious activities.
Black-market alcohol and cigarette sales boomed, and PPE corruption has been prevalent as many seek to cash-in on protective gear, masks and sanitiser tenders.
Watch the video above as eNCA reporters talk to ordinary South Africans about their experiences a year in the lockdown.
