'We want to emphasise that Covid-19 is real. There are still people who believe it is not,' says Gail.
The couple are using their COVID-19 experience to educate the public.
As the rate of Covid-19 cases continue to rise in South Africa, more and more local celebrities are becoming infected.
From Bachelor SA star contestant Jacqueline Ramos-Pinto to Somizi Mhlongo’s bestie Thato “TT” Mbha and even AKA, no one is immune to the disease.
While some, like AKA, are using their infection to make money, others are sharing their experience to educate the public and their fans about the dangers of the virus.
Gail and Kabelo Mabalane are among the celebs sharing their experience to increase social responsibility among the masses.
