Earlier this week I had been standing in the vaccine queue at the Pinetown Civic Centre for some time when the Zulu man behind me caught my eye and asked, “is this the right queue?” “For the vaccine? Yes, I think so”, I replied. He looked at me seriously for a moment and then said, “No, no, this is the UIF queue.” He seemed so sure of himself – maybe he was right. After all, there was no signage – I had just seen the queue and joined it.
