  • South Africa - Plettenberg Bay - 20 May 2020 - Despite the lockdown, NSRI Plettenberg Bay (Station 14) has remained operational. For the first half of lockdown all members stayed at home (but on call), thankfully there were no call-outs. Now they have split the crew into half to have an on-crew and an off-crew to be able to attend training to stay current, while keeping each other safe. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is a voluntary non-profit organization in South Africa tasked with saving lives through drowning prevention. Sea Rescue is manned by over 1 350 volunteers at rescue bases around the coast and on inland dams. South Africa is currently under lockdown in an attempt to flatten the curve to halt the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Picture: David Ritchie/African News Agency(ANA)

  • South Africa - Cape Town - 7 May 2020 - Eddie Esau waits for the Noon Gun to go off over Cape Town at exactly 12 o'clock, before ringing the cathedral bells at the St George's Cathedral. He does this every day. He is the verger at the historic church. A strange silence has descended over places of worship throughout the country and many parts of the world in the midst of the deadliest pandemic since the Spanish Flu of 1918. Eddie lives on the cathedral grounds. He says it has now become a lonely place. Churches have had to close their doors, with national lockdown level 4 still prohibiting gatherings and ordering people to adhere to physical distancing. Dean Michael Weeder is streaming sermons to his congregation from the Deanery during these challenging times. He said “Too often we become reliant on the priest or pastor, but now the believers has to dig within themselves. This crisis compels us confront ourselves.” Picture: Armand Hough/African News Agency(ANA)

A strange silence has descended over places of worship throughout the country and many parts of the world in the midst of the deadliest pandemic since the Spanish Flu of 1918. Eddie lives on the cathedral grounds. He says it has now become a lonely place. Churches have had to close their doors, with national lockdown level 4 still prohibiting gatherings and ordering people to adhere to physical distancing. Dean Michael Weeder is streaming sermons to his congregation from the Deanery during these challenging times. He said “Too often we become reliant on the priest or pastor, but now the believers has to dig within themselves. This crisis compels us confront ourselves.” Picture: Armand Hough/African News Agency(ANA)

  • An art-loving couple who are self-isolating in London have created a miniature art gallery for their pet gerbils.<br />
<br />
9-month-old brothers Pandoro and Tiramisù were met with a special surprise when their owners Filippo Lorenzin, an independent curator who works at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, and his girlfriend, artist Marianna Benetti, unveiled a DIY miniature museum - the product of four hours of labour during the couple’s 14th day of quarantine.<br />
<br />
The little gallery features four exquisite paintings modelled on famous masterpieces.<br />
<br />
Versions of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch’s The Scream and Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, all rendered in Benetti’s expert hand, grace the museum’s walls.<br />
<br />
Each, of course, comes with its own animalistic twist, subbing in a rodent where a human might otherwise feature - tailored, perhaps, to the VIP pint-sized patrons.<br />
<br />
Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring, for instance, is re-imagined as The Gerbil With the Pearl Earring.<br />
<br />
Each parody is finished off with a clean cardboard frame and a wall label featuring a QR code.<br />
<br />
Speaking to Bored Panda, Filippo said: "We visit museums and galleries whenever we can. We are interested in the artworks as much as in the way these are displayed.<br />
<br />
"Are the QR codes to engage the public working? How comfortable are the gallery stools? Is there any audio guide? etc.<br />
<br />
"When Marianna suggested to make a sort of doll house for our beloved gerbils as pastime for a lazy Sunday spent locked at home, I suggested to make a small art gallery. She is very good at painting and it was a nice opportunity to keep us busy with a fun project."<br />
<br />
According to Filippo, the gerbils love the gallery.<br />
<br />
"They seemed interested in everything but the paintings, which made us laugh," he said.<br />
<br />
"They explored the space interacting with the stool, the signs and the benches instead."<br />
<br />
Filippo and Marianna have been blown away with the reaction to the project on social media and are open to

  • South Africa – Pretoria - 14 May 2020 - The Lion whisperer. Kevin Richardson who has shown interest in wild life since a young age is affectionately known as the Lion whisperer. He takes his lions for a walk during stage 4 of the lockdown. Richardson generates an income to take care of the lions from gate takings to the sanctuary and volunteers who pay to work there. Due to lockdown the sanctuary is closed and there is no income. There are 23 lions, several leopards, some hyena and buck on the sanctuary. He fears a collapse of the industry if they are to be subjected to the lockdown conditions for much longer. Picture: Timothy Bernard/African News Agency(ANA)
