Charlize Theron bemoans lack of vaccine  -  misses South Africa

Charlize Theron


Theron took to social media in support of the global vaccination effort by the United Nations as she highlighted the fact that many people in some of the most fragile places in the world, including South Africa – “do not have access.”

She also expressed her longing to have the pandemic end saying, “ We ALL want the pandemic to end so we can get back to the things we love. The power to end COVID-19 faster is in our hands –– but only if people around the world can get a vaccine. So far, 75% of the vaccines delivered globally have gone to just 10 countries. Many people in some of the most fragile places in the world – including South Africa – do not have access. And that's why I'm proud to support the @unitednations global vaccination effort to help ensure everyone is protected from COVID-19. #OnlyTogether can we end this pandemic.”

Missing South Africa is also weighing heavily on her heart right now, she stated that it was  “over 2 years since I was last home in South Africa. This is the longest I've ever been away. I miss seeing @CTAOP's Program Partners in action, and I miss bonding with the incredible young people they serve”.

(CTAOP stands for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.)
