Advocate who blasted 'Cyril and his goons' over lockdown restrictions 'not asked to step down'

A practising advocate – who reportedly lashed out at government about the"senseless regulations…which continue to affect parents like me who are in the midst of divorce proceedings" – has not been asked to step down as an acting judge because of her social media comments, nor has her appointment been"revoked".

In a statement about the posts sent to News24, Benson said"there have been senseless regulations drafted, which continue to affect parents like me who are in the midst of divorce proceedings". She listed a number of prominent people who have voiced their opposition to the lockdown regulations publicly, among them former finance minister Trevor Manuel, current Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, scientists such as Professor Glenda Gray,wrote a formal letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa in which they expressed concern

"There are millions of South Africans expressing their displeasure right now at these regulations. I will not apologise for expressing my own view and will continue to do so."The choice of adjectives and nouns that I chose may have been unfortunate, but when an irrational regulation with no basis whatsoever and clearly with no thought as to the best interests of parents and children, hinders my contact with my own child, I will remain upset and deeply so.
