The condemnation comes after acts of lawlessness displayed by some unscrupulous people whereby properties worth millions of Rands were damaged, leaving scores of nearby residents without electricity.
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.

Cape Town â The police arrested a deaf man, threw him in a cop van and fined him R1000 for not listening to instructions.
Quinton Muller, 55, who is also mute, says he was beaten and dragged by officers in front of his neighbours and 12-year-old grandchild.
The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon next to their garden in Shepherd Court in Lavender Hill. âThe police pulled up while we were chilling around 6pm,â explains the grandfather, his neighbour acting as an interpreter.
âThey started searching everyone and since I cannot talk, I made sign language asking my neighbour what is happening.â
