Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our country’s path to recovery is steep and will be extremely challenging. But with the measures we set out in #SONA2022, with the #Budget2022 that has been presented, and with the cooperation and involvement of all South Africans, we will succeed. https://t.co/GlvUrIJEWr https://t.co/j7Noy8Gbxk — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will be having engagements with Russia and the United States. https://t.co/rmkaDW1aZF — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I call upon the United Nations Security Council to do their mediation work to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. https://t.co/UwOdKDfLJT — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In this time of great scarcity, let us do everything within our means – through effective coordination of litigation – to free up the financial resources of the state to pursue our developmental agenda and improve people’s lives. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The primary objective of the strategy is to develop and implement holistic and coordinated approach to state litigation. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development as the nerve centre of government litigation along with the Presidency will play a prominent role in this regard. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We welcome that the Office of the Solicitor-General has developed a five- year Litigation Strategy, as well as policies to implement the State Attorney Amendment Act. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There must be regular & formal engagements to identify litigation trends, the root causes of litigation & measures to address them. We should be able to look at trends that will enable us to give advise to policymakers in how to approach legal matters. https://t.co/LJgmlSebgo — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We need to move with speed to implement a policy on briefing and the outsourcing of legal work. This must of necessity be accompanied by a tariff policy. This just be done in collaboration with legal bodies as we cannot do it alone. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This means that we must work as one to ensure that judgments with far-reaching policy and other implications are properly argued, and, if there are reasonable prospects of success, appealed. There is much that we can do to strengthen this area of work. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In the end, we have a collective responsibility to ensure that the electoral mandate of this administration is implemented, and we need to respond effectively to any legal action that is intended to undermine that democratic mandate. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We should plan our litigation strategies with a clear appreciation of how they affect the policy positions and plans of government. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This must be accompanied by a concerted effort to address shortcomings within legal units in departments and other public entities, specifically when dealing with the shortage of skilled and experienced personnel. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This will require the development of directives and standards to ensure streamlined oversight of the Offices of the State Attorney, not only by the Office of the Solicitor-General but also by the Presidency. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must urgently formulate processes to achieve consistency in litigation procedures in different State Attorney offices, and also implement the State Mediation policy to resolve disputes speedily. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This Forum is also expected to drive efficiencies and contain costs. We know that delays and failures by government departments to address service delivery issues timeously or to settle matters at early stages increases costs. https://t.co/5q7abtLEEF — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Government departments need to be much more alert when handling legal matters. When there is a legal case we must immediate pay attention and pay due diligence, the ineptitude and carelessness must come to an end. https://t.co/LJgmlSebgo — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We employ hundreds of professionals through the Offices of the State Attorney countrywide to provide litigation and legal advisory services. Yet, despite these considerable human resources, we face significant challenges, many of them of our own making. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The state is the largest consumer of legal services in the country. Government is almost always overcharged for legal services. By sheer scale, Government should be paying less for legal services because we are dealing with public funds. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This Forum has been established to drive a coordinated approach to the management of state litigation. This coordinated approach is necessary to ensure that government puts forward the best legal case possible. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Even as we work to reduce the potential for litigation against the state, we need to have mechanisms such as this Forum in place to more effectively safeguard the interests and resources of the South African people. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our first responsibility as government is to ensure that we address all these shortcomings and that all persons in this country are able to fully exercise their rights. https://t.co/LJgmlSebgo — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The fact that some South Africans are resorting to the courts to uphold their rights points to widespread and systemic shortcomings in service delivery. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our Bill of Rights holds that every person has the right to administrative action that is lawful, reasonable & procedurally fair; they have a right to seek the review of administrative action by a court of law. This is a right that we must value & uphold. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The contingent liability resulting from claims against the State prior to the proclamation of the State Attorney Amendment Act of 2014 still needs to be fully interrogated. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The legal fees for national and provincial spheres of government over the past five financial years amount to approximately R7 billion. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It was to this correct this problem that the Presidency and the Department of Justice first began working in 2018 on the terms of reference for such a Forum. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Forum has its roots in the recognition that a fragmented approach to litigation has huge costs for our fiscus and for our ability to implement our electoral mandate. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The establishment of this Forum is a signal of our collective determination to implement intergovernmental coordination, and to drive efficiencies that reduce the considerable financial burden of lawsuits against government. https://t.co/T0tW2USJpb — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The reform of legal services – both private and public – is part of the broader transformation of the judicial system. It is meant to enhance access to justice and deepen constitutional democracy. https://t.co/LJgmlSvMEY — PolitiTweet.org
