The Fair Trade Independent Tobacco Association (Fita) has been granted leave to appeal the high court’s ruling in favour of government’s cigarette and tobacco products ban.

The Supreme Court of Appeals issued a directive earlier this week and respondents, President Cyril Ramaphosa and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, have until Friday to submit a responding affidavit.“We are pleased by the directive issued by the SCA [on Tuesday]. We have always looked at the matter long-term and we have always seen it going the full distance.

“Government is saying that people must get over [smoking]. It is callous to say that to people who are addicted to tobacco,” Subel said. Subel said the high court judgment was incorrect in ruling that government’s decision to ban the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products was rational under section 27 of the Disaster Management Act.

Advocate Marumo Moerane, representing Ramaphosa and Dlamini-Zuma, said no other court would come to a different finding to that of the Pretoria High Court.He pleaded for Fita’s leave to appeal to be rejected.
