DA argues the Disaster Management Act is invalid and questions the stringent measures the government has put in place
The DA will on Monday present its proposal for a “dedicated oversight mechanism” to monitor the distribution of Covid-19 relief funds and prevent corruption.
“Following the country’s downgrade to junk and the economic devastation resultant from the Covid-19 lockdown, we need to ensure that every single cent meant for relief is directed towards its intended purpose.” Eskom is battling with an estimated R450bn debt and SAA about R12.7bn, while SA Express owes creditors more than R2bn. SAA was placed in business rescue in December, while SA Express was placed under provisional liquidation at the high court in Johannesburg on April 29 after its business rescue practitioners, Phahlani Mkhombo and Daniel Terblanche, argued that it had no prospect of survival.
Also taking place on June 1 is that the high court in Pretoria will hear an application by the DA on the “rationality” of the Covid-19 regulations as they pertain to the national curfew from 8pm-5am, the prohibition of e-commerce and exercise window from 6am-9am.
