“We were inspired and encouraged when the minister of health brought experts and professors to address the nation on scientific reading of the current period. We however do not understand the science behind the premature re-opening of the economy,” Malema said on Monday in a virtual address.
Malema said that should this lead to more people dying from contracting the virus in the workplace, the government must be held accountable for murder and attempted genocide. “Each and every company that re-opens during this period must be directly held to account for the health and safety of the workers and we as the EFF will make sure that no life is lost due to rushed and senseless re-opening of the economy,” Malema said.
