We’ve got a live one: Video footage of a shopper’s ‘mask meltdown‘ in a Pick n Pay store has gone viral this week, after the woman confronted staff and told them to remove their face-coverings. Her behaviour has prompted a demand online for the supermarket to take action against this unruly customer.
On Thursday, a clip of the incident had already been viewed thousands of times on Twitter. The woman is politely asked to put her mask on, but instead, launches into an inaccuracy-riddled rant about Constitutional rights. Not only does the shouting shopper defend her choice to go maskless, but she also demands that workers remove their PPE.
A court will decide on Friday if Cogta Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma violated its order declaring lockdown regulations unconstitutional and irrational and should be jailed.

NATIONAL NEWS - The North Gauteng High Court has ordered that an amount of R10 billion be added to Eskom’s allowable revenue to be recovered from tariff customers in the 2021/22 financial year.
“This consent order follows Eskom’s application in terms of section 18(3) of the Superior Courts Act, 2013, that Eskom should be permitted to recover R23billion in the financial year 2021/22 as per the 28 July 2020 Court judgement,” the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) said on Tuesday.
The above consent court order follows discussions and an agreement between NERSA and Eskom.
“The agreement was informed by the fact that NERSA has already taken decisions on other Eskom applications that will be implemented in the 2021/22 financial year, which had a direct impact on the application Eskom has made to the court.
Consumers will have to pay about 15% more for electricity from April but poor residential customers will continue to be supported through Eskom's free basic electricity programme.
