Government is appealing to all citizens to continue taking steps to protect themselves and others.
Government welcomes the judgments by the Gauteng and Western Cape High Courts that dismissed both challenges related to the Disaster Management Act and its regulations, the Government Communications and Information Systems says in a statement.
In a separate case, the North Gauteng High Court dismissed an application brought by the Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association to try and lift the ban on the sale of cigarettes in the country. Mlambo also said cigarettes could not be deemed essential goods, because they do not, “by their nature, fall into the same category as goods which are life-sustaining or necessary for basic functionality.”
