The decision to extend the state of disaster is no longer about fighting the spread of Covid-19 but rather the ANC’s desperation to cling to power, the DA says

He made the announcement two days after co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma signed off on an extension to the state of disaster until April 15. At the end of March, SA will have been under a state of disaster for two years. “There is no need to maintain the state of disaster and the lockdown. If needed, the state of disaster and the lockdown can be reinstated when the situation changes drastically.

He took a swipe at the government’s stance on how it was guided by science in taking Covid-19-related decisions, arguing that science said a lockdown was unnecessary, irrational and unreasonable. Ending lockdown would have a positive effect on the economy, as the tourism industry used to support 10% of all jobs in the country, he said.

“While the rest of the world has filled stadiums for sport and shows, in SA the Soweto Derby had to take place in an empty stadium last weekend.”
