The South African woman encouraging people to get their vaccine
Jolene Samuels calls herself an ordinary South African but she did something extraordinary, she set up a raffle on social media to encourage people to get vaccinated against Covid-19. South Africa is the country that has been the worst hit by the virus in Africa with around 78 thousand deaths. The raffle is getting more and more popular online. She's been telling Focus on Africa's Audrey Brown why she started it.
