Co-operative governance & traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma told a plenary session of the National Council of Provinces on Tuesday that litigation was one of the challenges the government had to deal with during the fight to contain the spread of the virus.Dlamini-Zuma's spokesperson Lungi Mtshali later told SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE that in fact there had been 116 cases against the state.
“Interestingly, now there are those who are saying we should not have used the law we have used and we should have gone for the state of emergency. Others have said everything we have done is unconstitutional. Dlamini-Zuma outlined government's response to Covid-19, starting from when President Cyril Ramaphosa announced there would be a lockdown and how decisions were made from drafting regulations to moving from one alert level to the next.
“We moved from the hard lockdown [level 5] to now at level 3, where we have pretty much opened up most of the economy, and we are going to enhance level 3 where more parts of the economy are going to be open, as the president announced. But at the same time we have to stick to strict protocols to still minimise the spread of the virus,” she said.
