Separation Of Powers Non-existent

The lockdown is now officially on it's 96th day, and only this week has government allowed the opening of restaurants and smaller business like hair salons, with insane regulations. While court cases are mounting up against the government in regards to the constitutionality of the lockdown, the judiciary which was once thought to be independent with a focus of uphold law in the country. This sentiment is very much fading at an unprecedented rate, and specifically comes after some rather important judgments, which have been ruled in favour of the irrational state regulations. Many of these regulations go far beyond just being irrational, it's something retarded six year olds thought up.

First was the unconstitutional case made against the state, and the judge did find the lockdown imposed by government as unconstitutional, then was given 14 day to amend regulations, respond or appeal. The state just didn't come back, they literally just ignored the court, to which the court then just reserved finial judgment in favour of the state. Next was the case against the state regarding the cigarette ban, one of only two countries in the world to impose such a ban. The public waited three week for the judgment, and the court sided with the government's unsupported, unscientific position that smoking could add massive strain hospitals, which have yet to be overburdened.

Adding insult to injury another court case that was scheduled for tomorrow regarding the cigarettes ban, has been postponed until middle August. ?Usually when this happens, there is a very serious reason for doing so, unfortunately this time round the court was unable to give one, and when pushed by media and the lawyer on the other side, literally made up a lie. The said the plaintiff has submitted extra evidence which needed to be reviewed, which never happened.

The point is that it makes no logical sense to cut any form of taxable income, which the government desperately needs, especially with our unemployment sitting at close to 40% and more than half the country living off social welfare. All this and then our finance minister announces the South Africa is so economically fucked, we're in the same position we were in 1914.
