The Pretoria High Court has ruled that the regulations enforced upon South Africans under levels 3 and 4 of the nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus are “unconstitutional and invalid”.
Through its president, Reyno Dawid de Beer, the Liberty Fighters Network also requested the the court beyond declare unconstitutional all the regulations promulgated in terms of Section 27 of the Disaster Management Act on March 18. “The declaration of invalidity is suspended until such a time as the minister, after consultation with the relevant cabinet ministers, review, amend and republish the regulations mentioned, regulations promulgated under level 3, with due consideration to the limitations each regulation has on the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights contained in the Constitution,” read Davis’ ruling.
Tax Justice SA was the first to welcome the high court judgment and urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to lift the cigarette ban “immediately”. “The ban has turned 11 million smokers into criminals, while allowing the real crooks to grow so strong they may be impossible to remove.
Abramjee Sixty-four is running away.
Abramjee Meanwhile in other parts of South Africa
Abramjee The argument is between scientific evidence about covid-19 and its spread. The rationality spoken of should be based on science not just logic and common sense alone. Its not a battle about the law as such of which judges are experts but about science. This case is not over yet.
What does this mean, back to level 4, or 5 or straight to level 1
Good reporting
Abramjee Did we really have to go to court this could have gone off alot better if they did not try and dictate to us. People will rebel once you start dictating, did you not tell our children to take us to court if we are infringing on there rights.ANCMustFall
The whole country was being abused ... without even realizing it ..ANC is a embarrassing party .no shame
Constitutional delinquents exposed.

They have locked people for long
Ba segoa sa law bae bitsa judicial overreach. Or does this court have the powers to declare those regulations UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Thusang please 🙏
If this is the case, then all these rules and regulations should fall away until fixed? You can't continue with something that has been declared illegal.
All they will do is reword the clauses that are not effective to achieve what they want take it to the concourt And Bam Last thing we want now is level 5 That will be the straw
This is the time for ALL those who lost ANYTHING during this unconstitutional lockdown, to sue the state!!
But why put a picture with a cigarette?city press don't brainwash and mislead black people.
Interesting timing of this ruling. Isn't it curious how the court is making a finding against the lockdown after a failed a bid to have cigarettes back in the shelves by BAT. I argue its not about the lockdown but about the tobacco industry losing billions. Now they use courts
Mogoeng_Mogoeng DOJCD_ZA OCJ_RSA This is our current Justice System in South Africa👇👇👇👇Poor Judgements
Mxxxxxm
I wonder why mentioning of my gogo staying in our shack in Orlando with four of my children would worry anyone in relation to SocialDistance,knowing exactly what the legacy of his Grand Father through Apartheid Draconian laws did to home ownership in Black Townships for 100yrs.
This rulingI'm not a legal person, but it should have looked at whether the applicant has the interest of citizens at heart in relation to health objectives as the State,tried hard to save the lives of Citizens especially SocialDistance,large gatherings & Infection Control.
A moment this bourgeois government degenerated into ‘clever-blacks bashing cronyism’, it was a lost opportunity to date to found a state based on the intellectual prowess of its biggest majority of its citizens. It started losing wisdom, science and majesty thru corruption and al
It's on.....
You are being reckless with that picture
What does this mean to us
They save u very well in Pretoria.when u done with our black people they took u to stellenbotch
WMC shows exactly who is in charge of the country......they are ....it’s another proof that PTA court is serving the interest of WMC and their associates
At least , we are tired about cryril, nkosazana and bheki cele
It's about to get lit🤣
get you facts correct INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPT DELINQUENT tendency is this a response
Why this picture then,because the judgement specifies that the ban on cigarettes is excluded from this judgement?

High court refuses government bid to delay tobacco ban hearingState attorney requested that case be heard late in June or in July as it is no longer urgent The state is losing this... The fact that the law imposes an age restriction on the sale of alcohol and tobacco suggests that the law recognizes the individuals right to act as a responsible adult. The court should not permit any potentially illegal actions to continue until there is clarity cigarettes Basic human rights are not up for political debate or at governments discretion or based on a percentage of the population that believe it will benefit them. The right to responsibility is a basic human right. lockdownSA cigarettes
