Cape Town – The president's office says it will deal with legal challenges to the latest national State of Disaster regulations through the courts.
The DA yesterday lodged papers in court challenging a decision taken by the national government to close the beaches on the Garden Route for the entirety of the festive season.
Acting spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa, Tyrone Seale, said there were processes that had to be followed. “We note the DA court action and we will deal with the matter through legal processes,” he said.

After being declared a coronavirus hotspot, the Garden Route is not taking the closure of its beaches lying down.
The Garden Route District Coordinating Forum will now lobby national government and the National Coronavirus Command Council to allow beaches in the area to reopen and only close on the same days as those in KwaZulu-Natal, which are 16, 25, 26 and 31 December, as well as from 1 to 3 January.
