Public comment for the consequential Draft Health Regulations will close this Sunday. The DA urges South Africans to make their submissions. We remind South Africans of the concerning proposed amendments, which will seek to impose the following:

  • Forced quarantine, without the option of refusal, in the event of a positive Covid-19 case;
  • Forced testing and taking of bodily samples, without the option of refusal, in the event of a positive Covid-19 case, or worse, upon the mere suspicion of a positive test;
  • Forced treatment or providing of prophylaxis, without the option of refusal, in the event of a positive Covid-19 test. Currently, the only lawful prophylaxis for Covid-19 are the various vaccines as approved by the South African Health Products Regulatory Agency (SAHPRA); and
  • The ability to enforce trivial limitations on gatherings and funerals without the need for scientific based evidence or input, which will continue to destroy small businesses and the entertainment and restaurant industry.

Earlier during the public participation process, it was reported that public submissions were being deleted without being read. The DA wrote a letter and informed the department highlighting these reports and it was realised that the automatic deletion was a technical error. We are yet to receive feedback on the request regarding an audit and assessment of these public comments, that have potentially been lost due to this technicality. We will continue to place pressure on government to ensure that the public participation process results in meaningful incorporations into the new regulations and is not just a box ticking exercise

Before the 7-day extension for public comments was announced, approximately 160 000 submissions have been sent through. Public participation is a central part to our democracy and offers South Africans an opportunity to provide for meaningful input to the decision-making process. South Africans have a right for their voices to be heard. We encourage South Africans to submit their concerns regarding the Regulations before 24 April 2022 via WhatsApp on 060 012 3456; e-mail at legalreviews@health.gov.za; or via the website on www.health.gov.za/public-comments-on-regulations.

  7. The proposed amendments to the Health Act is unconstitutional. My body, my choice. No forced quarantine, no forced testing or treatment. No PCR testing, it is proven it is inaccurate. Nonsensical limitations for gatherings. No adequate public participation as a huge number of people do not have access to electricity or computers to have a say. WE, THE MAJORITY, SAY NO!!

  8. The entire draft Regulations as proposed by the minister of health are illegal and completely unfounded as was this entire pandemic. This pandemic was based on irrelevant PCR tests designed to produce false positives in order to scare the public into illegal experimental vaccination with very serious side effects. This entire activity sanctioned by our failed governments unprofessional and imbecile Corona Command Council is illegal and unconstitutional according to the international code No. 10 of the Nuremberg Code of Practice to which South Africa is a consignee.

  9. I am totally against this amendment to the health act, the government cannot even fix potholes and now they want to control our health, I say NO, it’s against our constitutional rights and against bodily integrity, I will choose what is right for my body and my health!

  10. NO NO NO. This vaccine is still a trial. Look at Pfiser’s side effects. Why don’t even know the other vaccines side effects. This new law is only to control South African. I’ll rather die than taking this poisen

  11. I fully reject the proposed amendments to the draft health regulations. Go to hell with your evil agenda Joe Phaala!
