The letter, from Ian Levitt Attorney’s and Conveyancers, was sent on Monday.
It said the continued ban of political gatherings was “arbitrary” and “irrational”.
The party highlighted that the current regulations constituted an unjustified limitation to sections 17 and 19 political rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Read:
“These lockdown regulations prohibit a political party from engaging in programmes and activities to hold government accountable for its actions and furthermore prohibit the campaigning of political programmes and activities in preparation of this year’s local government elections [which are likely to take place in November],” reads the letter.
The prohibition of political gatherings is illogical and irrational, specifically when one can gather at a public beach or swimming pool, but are criminalised when they gather to challenge government, to protest or assemble peacefully.
