Experts warn that South Africa cannot rush to lift its state of disaster, as it risks creating a legal vacuum around ongoing restrictions and Covid-19 regulations, thereports. Instead, a delay is needed to develop and introduce regulations that will allow government departments to keep managing Covid rules.

He told the Sunday Times that scrapping the state of disaster would also have an impact on the R350 social relief of distress grant which was introduced under the Act, and which millions of people still rely on. “Once the state of disaster is lifted, each minister must implement their own regulations. There will be no National Coronavirus Command Council needed for decisions,” he said.whether or not the country will continue with the National State of Disaster legislation currently in place.

He said the decision on whether to continue on with the National State of Disaster is a collective process, however, and any decision on it must be based on ‘rationality’.

Those experts are dumb..there is a limit to how long a state of disaster can be declared. at current the state of disaster is unconstitutional and irrational..yet we are told about experts who are just fronts enjoying being mentioned by white owned media.

Have you only lost your iPad CyrilRamaphosa ? Cancel the SoD or we know 🥜 are missing too...

No plan needed! Just LIFT the SoD!!!! The SoD is what is killing the country... NOT a cold

Ridiculous. There is no rationale for the State of Disaster but govt depts and ANC lackey front BUSA, want regulations to continue. So they can continue to benefit. Dodgy as ever.

solidariteit have a valid point here. It's hindering our way forward. The longer this 💰 making scam is allowed, the longer our SOE's will hide behind their 'no service delivery', 'still getting my full undeserved salary' every month. CyrilRamaphosa COVID_19_ZA GovernmentZA

They know full well that a flood of lawsuits will follow, and literally admit as much.

Ag rubbish man!!! The state of disaster should have been lifted long ago!!!

So you want to keep the act. Because it is the only way the ANC can continue as authoritarian. In stead of dealing with the parties issues it is better to hide behind the Disater act. GREAT JOBS and don't tell people they will lose R350 if you can't keep us under authoritarianism
