The EFF says Ramaphosa is desperate to hold on to the power the pandemic afforded him and doesn’t want to end the State of Disaster.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says the latest adjustments to the State of Disaster are meaningless.
President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on Tuesday, 22 March and announced the latest adjustments.
The party said the State of Disaster has long lost its rationality, scientific basis and authority over people.
“Society in general has long moved on with its affairs and does not observe pronouncements of non-existing power over people who can gather anywhere and at any time.
“Whether Ramaphosa ends the State of Disaster or not has become moot. The only material concern South Africans should have is on the continued closure of stadiums.”

Ramaphosa also confirmed that the State of Disaster would end once after public comments process for the amended National Health Act had been received. The deadline is Saturday 16 April 2022.
