The Citizen reports that the Democratic Alliance (DA) will continue to pursue its court case on the now-lifted personal care services lockdown ban until the applicable regulations are published.  

On Wednesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that hairdressing, along with a number of other trades and sectors, would be allowed to resume as long as there was adherence to “specific and stringent safety requirements”.  DA MP Dean Macpherson welcomed the reopening of the personal care industry, but said the DA would still pursue its case.  He said that the president knew full well that Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma would lose in court on 22 June before a full bench of the Western Cape High Court.  “Due to the recent history of President Ramaphosa being overturned by Minister Dlamini-Zuma on important issues like this, the DA will continue to pursue our court case until such time as the regulations for the personal care industry are published and a firm date is given for them to reopen,” Macpherson added.  The MP noted that Minister Dlamini-Zuma would still need to file her responding affidavits to the Western Cape High Court by the end of Thursday, 18 June 2020.
