AfriForum has demanded in a letter to Ministers that a family who are currently being detained in a COVID-19 #quarantine camp in Groblersdal, are released to self-isolate & that their wish to be tested may not be denied.

Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets), Head of Policy and Action at AfriForum:
AfriForum also last week demanded that the threat by Sihle Zikalala, Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, that people who test positive for COVID-19 will be forced into quarantine camps regardless of whether they are effectively self-isolating, should be retracted.
Zikalala did retract his threat following a lawyer’s letter from AfriForum sent to Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Minister of Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs, regarding it.

However, the regulations issued by Dlamini-Zuma still empowers government officials to do exactly what Zikalala threatened to do, and AfriForum therefore plans to continue with legal action in this regard.
