The second big legal challenge to SA’s Covid-19 ban on cigarette sales — now the only one of its kind in the world — will be heard on August 4, following an appeal by state lawyers to Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe.
“We shall do so as soon as practically possible, but our efforts in this regard are constrained by limitations on the availability of some of [the government’s] experts.” “We are considering all our legal options and will be liaising directly with the government, as we had both previously agreed that the matter was urgent and needed to be heard [on Tuesday June 30],” he said.
