Importance of the rule of law cannot be overstated. It lays the foundation for good governance which serves the people who give democratic legitimacy to the government. The SA government's Covid-19 response is not serving the people, writes Jacques Jonker

It lays the foundation for good governance which serves the people who give democratic legitimacy to the government in question.It is undermining citizens’ voices, their quality of life, as well as their lives.The artificially created havoc by the state will prove deadlier and more destructive than the chaos they initially set out to avoid.

“It makes no sense and it affects economic progress that must go hand in hand with the concerted effect by all, including the citizenry, to contain the virus. It should not be the choice of either the public health or the state of the economy. It is a necessity to safeguard both.Where disproportionate, unreasonable, arbitrary and ambiguous measures have been forced upon citizens by an unaccountable, undemocratic military-style “national command council” – all in the name of the “new normal”.

The warnings weren’t simply limited to overreach by the security forces. They extended well beyond the sphere of policing. Neither in the short term nor the long term. We were told by the very government that is now ignoring experts and attempting to censor them to listen to the experts as they were allegedly doing at the time.

One can argue that going to level 3 is effectively returning to “normal”, but such an argument is spurious at best.It is the rule of law and its accompanying imperatives that lay the foundation for a normally functioning society where human flourishing occurs.
