Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Picture: Jacques Nelleshas started contempt of court proceedings against Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.This after the minister allegedly failed to meet a 6 January 2023 deadline to provide the organisation with government’s decision-making records during South Africa’s Covid-19 lockdowns that lasted for more than two years.
Instead of submitting the documents, Alberts said the state attorney – on Dlamini-Zuma’s instruction – submitted records concerning isolated decisions that were already available in the public domain, particularly related to the April 2020 ban on the sale and distribution of tobacco.
“While it is already clear that Dlamini-Zuma is attempting to obstruct Sakeliga and defying the court, it is a procedural requirement that her contempt should be proven in a further distinct court application. In this way, the minister can be compelled either to disclose the records or to face imprisonment.
