Ramaphosa announced Cabinet’s intention to lift the National State of Disaster and invited South Africans to make submissions on the new draft regulations before April 16, 2022. “The President is no more consulting opposition parties when it comes to decisions on this deadly virus called COVID-19 and it makes a mockery of this thing. The President has turned us, now, into spectators and we are lawmakers. It can’t be that the President just addresses the nation and we must also just hear what the President is saying,” says Bloem.The Inkatha Freedom Party called for the amendment of the Disaster Management Act to allow the Executive to be held accountable.

EFF’s Sinawo Tambo says the government’s vagueness in ending the State of Disaster is an indication of its intention to continue granting it control over the lives of South Africans.

Considering the amount of time I have spent in bitcoin and stock I think I prefer Bitcoin over stock, Bitcoin is a better side income I'm having a wonderful crypto journey with MarkdonaldTowns.

This guy must go farming or look after his grandchildren

But that is MYANC arrogance

It was just courtesy when he was consulting the opposition. It was NOT an obligation. He's the President after all and the Executive authority of running the State is vested in him. Sit down Cope.

Of course the anc doesn't want anyone at the covid feeding trough...... VoetsekANC
