The Polokwane High Court also ordered the station commander of the Polokwane SAPS to ensure that officers under his control do not harass, intimidate or arrest business owners and employees for not having a temporary operating permit.

The High Court in Polokwane, Limpopo, ordered on Tuesday that it is not necessary for the local municipality to issue “temporary operating permits” to businesses that wish to open up their doors during the lockdown.

The court declared matter as being urgent “as envisaged in rule 6 of the rules of the court and that the ordinary process of service and filing dispensed with, and is ordered to occur as set out in the notice of motion”. “It is declared that the provisions of Business Act 71 of 1991 operate as was the case before the lockdown period, in as far their implementation is provided for by the applicable legislation.”
