“As stated at the outset, the purpose for requiring details of vaccine status or a negative test result is for the general well-being of all parties in attendance at court. It is a public health imperative that all concerned share the responsibility of ensuring the safety of each of us from infection. I emphasise that the purpose of this directive is aimed at protecting all persons in court, including any party giving evidence,” said Judge Chetty in the directive.
“We have heard of companies that tell their staff to get vaccinated. But this one of the court judge is a bit worrying because the court is a public facility owned by the state,” said Mdakane, adding that they would continue to monitor developments on whether this would be limited to the Durban High Court.

The objective of the directive is to minimise the spread of the virus by ensuring that all those who attend the case are protected from contracting it. It is just a measure that Judge Chetty deemed appropriate considering that the case attracted wide interest from the media and members of the public,” said Mncube.
