Robert Alexander/Getty Images President Cyril Ramaphosa's lifting of the ban on religious gatherings has not deterred faith-based organisations from challenging the government in court seeking an order to compel it to do away with the ban. The SA National Christian Forum, Freedom of Religion SA , AfriForum and Muslim Lawyers Association filed an urgent application against the ban, which was meant to be heard on Tuesday in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg. The organisations have agreed to abandon their urgent application following the announcement by the president of allowing only 50 worshippers in an indoor venue and 100 people outdoors.
