Steenhuisen warns Cyril Ramaphosa about extending lockdown
In May 2020 John Steenhuisen criticized President Cyril Ramaphosa and his government for extending the national lockdown to level 4. He described lockdown level 4 as unjustified and lacks common sense.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) demanded the minutes of all discussions held by the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC), including the decision to continue the ban on tobacco products. John Steenhuisen said the lockdown will be stopped fed up by citizens.
“We are no longer dealing with a Covid-19 crisis. We are dealing with a lockdown crisis. An ANC lockdown crisis to be precise.
“Let me be very clear about this: There is no longer a justification to keep this hard lockdown in place. The government cannot produce this justification,” he said.
