He said there was a possibility of a second wave of infections, but that the state had enough time to prepare for it.

According to Hutchinson, the first wave of infections did not overwhelm the hospital system.

“It is inappropriate to keep the current state of disaster in perpetual effect on the basis that a new disaster may occur on an unknown date,” argued Hutchinson.

He said the request was urgent as the national state of disaster had just been extended and the extension would be in effect for another month.

He said there were limitations under the current blockade, including people’s rights to liberty and security of person, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly, as well as rights to political rights and freedom of trade, occupation. and profession.

The organization sent a letter to the minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs (Cogta), Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, in October, seeking reasons for extending the blockade or facing litigation.

Dlamini-Zuma has until November 18 to oppose the matter.
