Through these #nationalorders, we recognise many outstanding individuals who defied great odds and made immense sacrifices not only for us to attain freedom, but so that such freedom is meaningful. https://t.co/KrNFnnfHwq — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While we acknowledge that the pandemic is still very much with us, we also recognise the important duty we have to honour those among us who have made outstanding contributions towards the betterment of our country and of the human condition. #NationalOrders — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Two years have passed since we last held a Presentation of #NationalOrders. Since we last gathered here for this noble purpose, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused great devastation in our country and across the world. — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome you all to South Africa and encourage you to enjoy the warm hospitality of the City of Durban and the KwaZulu-Natal Province. I wish you all productive days ahead as we work to transform our continent and forge a better future for its people. https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org

On the 24th of March 2022 South Africa will host its fourth South Africa Investment Conference in Johannesburg, and we look forward to seeing some of the engagements that start here at the IATF come to fruition at that conference. #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
South Africa stands ready to work closely with all African countries to forge more balanced, equitable and fair trade relations among African nations. Â #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/1IrJ7IBoGl — PolitiTweet.org

This is the time for action. As countries let us work with speed to resolve any outstanding issues around the #AfCFTA, let those countries who have not already ratified it do so and let us take the necessary steps towards domestication. #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Trade is built on a bedrock of investment. We must therefore find ways of attracting more investment into our economies, and, crucially, we must encourage African businesses to invest in each other’s countries.  #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is important that the Intra-African Trade Fair gives special attention to African women in business, recognising their great potential as drivers of economic change across the continent. #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is about creating a market large enough to attract investors from across the world to set up their production facilities on the continent. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is about using the combination of the continent’s raw materials and industrial capacity, finance, services and infrastructure to produce quality finished goods to local and global markets. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We need, as Africans, to resist the temptation to simply become transhipment centres, adding only limited industrial value in Africa. The AfCFTA will unlock more value and give effect to the dream of African development if it promotes complementary trade between countries. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
All of this will help the continent to absorb the 10 to 12 million African youth looking to enter the job market annually. The #AfCFTA should therefore be underpinned by strong and ambitious rules of origin, requiring a very high level of value-add here on our continent. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The #AfCFTA will provide new export opportunities for ‘Made in Africa’ products and enable member countries to trade with each other without tariffs or other hindrances. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The African Continental Free Trade Area has the potential to accelerate economic growth across the continent and create opportunities for entrepreneurs, small and medium enterprises as well as large corporations to flourish. Â #AfCFTA #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To illustrate the extent of the challenge, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa estimates that Africa imports about 94 per cent of its pharmaceutical and medicinal needs from outside the continent at an annual cost of $16 billion. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It clearly demonstrated that Africa needs to produce its own food and medicines, to strengthen continental supply chains, and to invest in infrastructure and capacitate African institutions. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
More importantly, it sent a powerful message to Africa about the dangers of over-reliance on external sources to meet its growing demand for food, medicines and other essential supplies. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The outbreak of the #COVID19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 exposed the frailty of African economies. #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By promoting trade between African countries we are strengthening the continent’s industrial base and ensuring that we produce goods for ourselves and each other.  #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We can longer have a situation where the resources of Africa provide employment and add value in other economies, while so many of our people live in poverty and conditions of under-development. https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We can no longer have a situation where Africa exports raw materials and imports finished goods made with those materials. Â #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is our expectation that this Intra-African Trade Fair will further cement its position as Africa’s premier trade platform, where African manufacturers can promote and sell more ‘Made in Africa’ goods to one another. https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
One such opportunity is in Africa's rapid adoption of locally developed fintech, of which M-PESA is the most well-known. Â It is an example of financial and technological innovation in which Africa leads the world. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Now Africa is taking concrete steps to write its own economic success story. Â It is opening up new fields of opportunity. Â #OneAfricanMarket https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Then, with the realisation of Africa’s vast raw materials, colonial powers turned to the extraction of Africa’s minerals and agricultural products.  Much of the economic storyline of colonialism persists to this day.  https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Colonialism deeply damaged the indigenous development of African trade and caused great harm to our societies. At first, Europeans traded in African lives, carrying millions of slaves across the Atlantic to produce the wealth of their new-found colonies. https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Throughout history, Africa has had a network of trade routes that facilitated the flow of goods such as beads, carvings, ivory, gold, gum, salt, textiles and metals. These trade routes enabled African traders to seek out markets beyond the continent. https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Mombasa and Mogadishu, to the ancient southern civilisations of Great Zimbabwe and Mapungubwe, for many centuries Africans traded the goods that they produced. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
From the ancient centres of learning like Alexandria and Timbuktu, to the northern civilisations in Egypt and Carthage, the western Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, the trans-Saharan trade routes, the eastern trading centres of Zanzibar, https://t.co/lwEDAYL6Vt — PolitiTweet.org
