Liberty Fighters Network founder Reyno De Beer, who won the first legal round against the government, says government’s decision to appoint a heavyweight attorney indicates their desperation win.
“Cooperative Governance Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is adamant in defending government against the court’s declaration of unconstitutionality and invalidity of the lockdown regulations, having called in heavyweight Advocate Wim Trengove.
“LFN believes that Dlamini-Zuma should make peace with the fact that her reign as the lockdown dictator will come to an end very soon.’’
