Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
President Nelson Mandela said of him that his was a voice that was “sometimes strident, often tender, never afraid, and seldom without humour”. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will recount his achievements, we will recall his teachings and we will cherish fond memories of this man who always tempered criticism with compassion. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In the days to come, we will mourn this global icon of peace and freedom. We will pay tribute to a life lived in the service of God and in the service of his fellow woman and man. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our country will not know the peace we seek until all have justice, until all have a place to sleep and enough to eat, until all children have an education, until all women feel safe in their homes and on our streets. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And it was in receiving this great honour in Oslo that he said: “There is no peace because there is no justice.” It was a fundamental principle to which he held throughout his life. It is a principle to which we must remain true as we mourn his passing. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It was an honour that he accepted not for himself, but for all South Africans who stood for freedom, for peace and for justice. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It was through both his words & his actions that he earned his distinguished place in the history of our nation’s struggle for freedom. It was for these words & these actions, at the height of the brutality of the apartheid state, that he was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He continued his work as a tireless campaigner for the rights of the oppressed. He was frank and forthright, speaking truth to power, even when this meant criticising the democratic government. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He had to join the struggle for social justice, for development, for transformation, so that all may have the necessities of life. His brave and often critical voice lost none of its vigour when apartheid ended. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He had to join with the people of this country, and indeed the people of all countries, in working – tirelessly and diligently – for the attainment of peace. It was not enough for him to bring God’s blessings to the poor and the needy. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He was a man of faith who, throughout his life, gave expression to the Biblical teaching that without actions, faith is dead. For Desmond Mpilo Tutu, it was not enough that he should preach peace. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By the same measure, he was convinced, even to the end of his life, that poverty, hunger and misery can be defeated; that all people can live together in peace, security and comfort. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He knew in his soul that good would triumph over evil, that justice would prevail over iniquity, and that reconciliation would prevail over revenge and recrimination. He knew that apartheid would end, that democracy would come. He knew that our people would be free. #RIPArch — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In his ministry, in his struggle against apartheid, and as Chairperson of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he saw the depths to which human beings could descend in the subjugation of others. And yet, his faith in humanity, like his faith in God, was unwavering. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Like many of his time, he was a witness to the gravest injustices and the most intolerable cruelty. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have lost a person who carried the burden of leadership with compassion, dignity, humility and with such good humour. We are comforted in the knowledge that he has left an indelible mark in the lives of the millions of people who had the privilege and honour of knowing him. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
He was a man of unwavering courage, of principled conviction, whose life was spent in the service of others. He embodied the essence of our humanity. Knowing he had been ill for some time has done little to lessen the blow dealt to South Africa this sad day. Uwile umthi omkhulu. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In this season of cheer and goodwill, at a time when many people are celebrating with family and friends, we have lost one of the most courageous and beloved among us. Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu was one of our nation’s finest patriots. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Today is the saddest of days. Our nation and the world awoke this morning to the sad news that Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu passed away peacefully in Cape Town at the age of 90. #RIPDesmondTutu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Desmond Tutu was a patriot without equal; a leader of principle and pragmatism who gave meaning to the biblical insight that faith without works is dead. We pray that Archbishop Tutu’s soul will rest in peace but that his spirit will stand sentry over the future of our nation. https://t.co/ULGzhOOn9E — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is another chapter of bereavement in our nation’s farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa. https://t.co/vjzFb3QrNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Vaccines dramatically reduce the chances of severe illness, hospitalisation and death. Let’s all protect ourselves. Vaccination is free, easy and it works. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Thank you, fellow South Africans, for your good wishes following my COVID-19 positive result. As I recover, my message of the week is: don’t let your guard down. Do everything you can and need to, to stay safe, beginning with vaccination. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Frederik Willem de Klerk was born of the African soil. And it is to the African soil that he has now returned. And it is here, within the warm embrace of the African soil, that he shall forever remain. I call on all of us to now release him, so that he may be at peace. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To the De Klerk family, you have lost a husband, a father, and a grandfather. You have lost a brother and a friend. To you, and to his many friends and colleagues, I offer you my condolences and those of the South African government. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Hy het op ‘n tydstip beheer gehad oor ‘n onregverdige stelsel, maar hy het die moed van sy oortuiging gehad om ‘n ander koers in te slaan vir sy party en vir sy mense. Vir dit sal ons hom onthou. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
FW de Klerk was a man whose life was bound up in the fortunes of our country, its crises and its triumphs, its complexity and its contradictions. — PolitiTweet.org
