DA calls on Government to open Level 3 regulations for public comment
25 May 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) is concerned that President Ramaphosa has not made concrete promises to South Africans that the Level 3 regulations will be open to public comment and submission.
This would be a departure from his previous willingness to hear from citizens when we moved from Level 5 to Level 4.
The DA has written to the President, through his Parliamentary Councillor to request that a list of consolations be provided to us as well as opening up a the opportunity for submissions by members of the public.
It was as a result of this process that the Government told us that cigarette sales would not be allowed because 2000 people opposed it.
