Lawyers threaten Ramaphosa's National Command Council President Cyril Ramaphosa has come under fire from some prominent lawyers, pro-cigarette lobby groups and politicians over the legality of his Covid-19 National Command Council.
Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa has come under fire from some prominent lawyers, pro-cigarette lobby groups and politicians over the legality of his Covid-19 National Command Council and its alleged overreach during the national lockdown.
“Under current Covid-19 induced circumstances in South Africa, a body known as the National Command Council , apparently appointed by the South African president to lead the fight against Covid-19, appears to be determining their implementation. “Have these requirements been met in the appointment by the president of the National Command Council? If so, what piece of legislation, or constitutional provision, did he cite as conferring upon him the power so to do?”
“On its composition, the NCC appears to us to constitute a centralisation of power that is impermissible under the DMA. To the extent that such centralisation is permissible, the NCC would have to be conducting its functions under a lawful delegation from the national executive”.
