Abstract

The ivermectin saga has taken on a new dimension: respect for the rule of law by the state. The rule of law is important, as it is a cornerstone of our democratic Constitutional order. The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has a statutory mandate to regulate medicines and related substances, but it also has a constitutional duty to obey the law. This duty includes obeying court orders. However, SAHPRA appears to have contravened the consent order handed down by the Pretoria High Court on 2 February 2021, and therefore undermined the rule of law. This situation is untenable in our democratic Constitutional order.

伊维菌素与法治
伊维菌素事件有了一个新的层面:国家对法治的尊重。法治很重要,因为它是我们民主宪政秩序的基石。南非卫生产品监管局(SAHPRA)有监管药品和相关物质的法定授权,但它也有遵守法律的宪法义务。这项义务包括服从法庭命令。然而,SAHPRA似乎违反了比勒陀利亚高等法院2021年2月2日发布的同意令,因此破坏了法治。这种情况在我们的民主宪法秩序中是站不住脚的。
