KHAYA SITHOLE: Does Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma have 3,500 reasons to ban tobacco? 🔒

A few decades ago a Cambridge economics professor, the late Frank Hahn, received a 40-page paper from a contributor to the Review of Economic Studies. Unimpressed by the length of the submission, Hahn asked the writer to submit a revised version of no more than three pages. The writer objected, and Hahn simply replied: “Crick and Watson described the structure of DNA in three pages. Kindly explain why your idea deserves more space.

This week one of the most voluminous court submissions was made by co-operative governance & traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in a case pitting the tobacco industry against the state. The crux of the dispute is whether it is justifiable for tobacco products to be banned during the lockdown induced by the coronavirus pandemic.

'Hands off Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma': SACPThe SACP has come out in support of co-operative governance & traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma amid criticism of her stance on the cigarette ban The SACP can go and fck themcelves. Let us not forget that it was the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) that was 'negligent' with the handling of the virus so the last people that should have any opinion at this stage should be the SACP. Ai the shit that's happening in today's world. Double standards.. if cigarettes are banned then ban alcohol.. if you cannot do gatherings than leave schools and churches closed. No this is on Zuma and my freedom of speech she is the puppeteer
