SA business organisations that banded together in a campaign called Business for Ending Lockdown – which argues that “South Africa’s lockdown is medically futile, costing lives, ” – have accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of misrepresenting Covid-19 risks

President Cyril Ramaphosa of misrepresenting Covid-19 coronavirus risks and continuing with a harmful lockdown.

He said the campaign specifically views “as problematic” the fact that “international travel remained restricted and comes with unnecessary prohibitive health regulations for travellers”. The campaign also bemoaned the continuation of the state of disaster, saying it allowed for “arbitrary policy decisions which undermine investment certainty”.

Business for Ending Lockdown also lamented the restrictions that remained on the alcohol industry, with Ramaphosa yesterday having announced that the sale of liquor would be limited to between Monday and Friday from 9am to 5pm
