DA To Ramaphosa: End The Hard Lockdown Now

PRESSURE is mounting for President Cyril Ramaphosa to end the country’s national lockdown, which has been in force for the past five months. 

The DA said on Friday that the State of Disaster is coming to an end in less than 24 hours and there is no clarity at all on what happens next.  

“This is unacceptable,” said the party’s interim leader John Steenhuisen.

“The stranglehold this places on our country goes way beyond the immediate damaging effects of the regulations enforced under the State of Disaster, because it is the uncertainty that inflicts the most damage.”

Steenhuisen said Ramaphosa is nowhere to be seen while millions of livelihoods are in peril as thousands of businesses cannot plan for the immediate future.
