Bad hair day for hairdressers as judge takes shears to lockdown challenge

"The [health] minister simply does not have the power or authority to compel the minister of cooperative governance to change the regulations pertaining to the industry," said Bozalek, dismissing Viljoen's application.

The judge suggested mediation between the sector and the government so that salons could open under certain conditions. Although he did not have support from the Employers Organisation for Hairdressing, Cosmetology and Beauty , who it appeared from court arguments would rather negotiate with the government about a way to restart operations, Viljoen told Bozalek on Wednesday he had received supportive e-mails from hundreds of hairdressers.
