Johannesburg - Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma says claims she dictates orders on which sectors get banned or re-opened were untrue and disingenuous.
When asked how she felt when she was branded the enemy behind the push for the tobacco sale ban to remain, Dlamini Zuma said these accusations were not true as she forms part of the collective. "What we do is to tell the courts the rationale for taking the decision and the evidence which we based that decision. We have taken very rational decisions and we have used available evidence.
On whether the bans on alcohol and tobacco may be re-introduced in future, the minister said it was too early to decide.
