Co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has been ordered to reveal the reasons behind decisions taken by government during Covid-19 lockdowns.
“The veil of secrecy over the government’s decision-making processes regarding Covid disaster management regulations will be lifted,” said Sakeliga“The court victory concludes a two-year litigation battle, and the records Dlamini-Zuma must now produce relate to decision-making processes followed in 2020 to place the country under lockdown and make the erratic extensions thereof. These lockdowns and other measures did unprecedented harm to economic and social activity.
The group said the records will be made public and hoped they will be used as an impetus and grounding to hold the government to account for harmful decisions of the past and to prevent such abuses of power reoccurring in the future.
