Power hungry government extends state of disaster again, AfriForum heads to courtPower hungry government extends state of disaster again, AfriForum heads to court
The civil rights organisation AfriForum has condemned government’s decision to extend the national state of disaster once again and will continue their fight to end the state of disaster in court. The organisation started legal action in February to have the state of disaster nullified.“This again proves AfriForum’s point that the government has no plans of ever giving up the powers they have grabbed under the guise of an emergency over the last two years.
In its arguments, AfriForum states that there is currently no disaster and hence no need for a state of disaster. The organisation says that when the current hospitalisation and death rates for Covid-19 is taken into consideration, there is no justification for the continued clamp down on citizens’ freedoms.
AfriForum has launched numerous legal battles against unreasonable government regulations since the first lockdown was announced nearly two years ago, including abolishing government quarantine camps and other measures such as the curfew, beach bans, and the ban on religious gatherings.
