DA MP Dean Macpherson says Patel should not be applauded for doing what was clearly the right and logical thing from the very beginning.
The Democratic Alliance welcomed the unbanning of all e-commerce by Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Ebrahim Patel during the lockdown.
In a statement, DA MP Dean Macpherson said Patel should not be applauded for doing what was clearly the right and logical thing from the very beginning. “This repositioning by the minister follows unrelenting public pressure and legal action that the DA had initiated today in the high court against the banning of unfettered access to e-commerce by South Africans,” he said.Macpherson said the minister had to learn a “painful lesson that citizens will not tolerate his high-handed ideological madness that he was currently inflicting on us as he seeks to determine what freedoms and rights people should enjoy under the lockdown”.
