Business lobby group Sakeliga says it is disappointed by the manner in which the minister of trade, industry and competition (the dti) has allegedly circumvented their concerns about banning the sale of warm cooked meals at supermarkets.
This comes after the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma published the amended regulations on Monday clearly banning the purchase and sale of cooked hot food during this lockdown period.
Sakeliga had last week threatened to take Trade and Industry Minister Ebrahim Patel to court unless he ceased and reversed his department’s ban as there was uncertainty around the sale of cooked food as part of the nationwide lockdown restrictions.
