Together with the Co-investigators, Prof Johannes John-Langba ( Discipline of Social Work; Email: JohnLangbaJ@ukzn.ac.za) and Dr Kemist Shumba ( Discipline of Psychology; Email: ShumbaK@ukzn.ac.za), we are interested in understanding the emotional wellbeing of first year students at UKZN during the COVID 19 lockdown.
