Johannesburg - The Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association is confident that its legal team has convinced the North Gauteng High Court that the government's tobacco sales ban is unlawful and irrational.
South Africans were glued to their screens on Wednesday night as President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on Covid-19 and the national lockdown. “No fixed date was given in this regard. However, consideration needs to be given to inter alia the fact that the record in this matter is voluminous.”
“Now we have a situation where a young lady is afraid to come to work because of these threats. We take threats of this nature very seriously, and we will be lodging the necessary complaints with police.” “Valuable resources are also being used to police ordinarily law abiding citizens who have now been reduced to criminals as a result of the ban, with an abnormally high percentage of cases currently in the criminal justice system currently related to the illegal sale of cigarettes.”
