NEWSFLASH: SA holds its breath ahead of Ramaphosa’s speech on lockdown

In a statement on Saturday, the Presidency said the address follows meetings with Cabinet, the National Coronavirus Command Council and the President’s Coordinating Council.

According to the Presidency, as part of exploring this prospect and assessing the continuing health, social and economic impact of the pandemic, Ramaphosa has also held consultative meetings with a number of different sectors in society. This included business, labour, leaders of political parties represented in Parliament, traditional leaders, the South African Council of Churches and the tourism industry.

Both the Freedom Front Plus and the DA are heading to court to challenge the lockdown in its current format and some of its regulations. The DA has already filed papers that challenge the validity of some aspects of the national lockdown, including the military-enforced night curfew, the ban on e-commerce and the restriction on exercise hours, News24 previously reported.

NEWSFLASH: No we don't hold our breath anymore. We know he's going to be late and all details of the new regulations will be released during the week. Maybe.

I hope he will tell us why food is so expensive. What a story one alcohol and cigarette

I am holding my breath just to see if he is on time..!!
