We will never be a truly united nation until we overcome the poverty, inequality and underdevelopment and unemployment that is still so prevalent in our communities. We can only do so if we work together. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Fellow South Africans,   One of our greatest tasks as a nation is to heal the divisions of the past.   https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We reject racists and check our own prejudices, whether we are black or white. All this is what should define our character as proud South Africans.   #HeritageDay https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are a united people.   We are intolerant of any forms of racism, sexism, tribalism or xenophobia.   We embrace non-racialism as our everyday ethos, we embrace this in our communities, in our workplaces and in our places of worship. https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are a peace-loving people. Our democracy was won because the dream of a new country was stronger than the urge for retribution. As South Africans we live in harmony with others. We are part of efforts to keep our communities safe and free of crime. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Because we want for others what we want for ourselves, we do not vandalise or destroy property meant for the benefit of all of us, such as schools, libraries, roads, clinics or electricity infrastructure or water or roads. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We keep our country running every day, in our hospitals caring for the sick, teaching our children, providing basic services to communities, keeping communities safe, and running small businesses that serve our people. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are a hardworking people, we South Africans.   Despite the many challenges our economy is facing we keep trying to do what we can to make a better life for ourselves and others. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We get vaccinated against COVID-19 and encourage others to do so as well. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We abide by the regulations that are in place to help contain the spread of COVID-19, which are there for our own safety and welfare. We wear our masks in public at all times, we observe social distancing, and we regularly wash or sanitise our hands. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

The South Africans that we are makes us care for the welfare of others, be they our neighbours, our neighbours’ children, or strangers.   We, South Africans are a responsible people. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We help others whenever we can, especially those less fortunate than ourselves. We offer sympathy and support to the many families who have lost their loved ones and who still suffer during this pandemic. https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As South African men, we accord women and girls the highest form of respect, knowing that there is never, ever, any justification to abuse, hit or even kill rape a woman.   We are a compassionate people, we South Africans.   https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We never use culture or tradition as a tool to oppress, to discriminate or to victimise others on any other basis, including their gender, their religion, their sexuality or their sexual orientation. https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As South Africans we share a common cultural value of respect for others, for the elderly, for women, for children, for people’s property and belongings. But we also have a deep respect for ourselves. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As South Africans we do not engage in acts of corruption, especially as public servants or representatives who have been entrusted with the welfare of our beloved country’s citizens. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As South Africans, we are proud of our country and our achievements as a young nation that is barely three decades old.   We reject dishonourable conduct.   We are not involved in crime and we report those who are.   https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As South Africans we respect others and their rights and believe in the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I speak here of heritage that we cannot see or hold, but which we carry in our hearts and minds.   As South Africans we are an honourable people. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Because the values we live by, and the principles we stand for, define us as much as what we wear, the food we eat, the languages we speak, the music we listen to, and they also make up our way of life. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

In the aftermath of the violence, we have had to ask ourselves: Who are we as a people? What is it that defines our national character? What is it that defines our identity? What is it that we stand for? https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Property, infrastructure and businesses were destroyed, jobs were lost and many people were injured and many died. Our belief in ourselves as a united nation was shaken.   We saw people destroying the very country we are trying to build. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have been slowly rebuilding our economy and have seen the promising green shoots of recovery. Just as we were doing so, we were confronted  with the outbreak of terrible violence in some parts of our country. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Fellow South Africans,   It has been a challenging year and we have had much to contend with. We have been trying to get on with our lives in the midst of a deadly pandemic. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Heritage is as much about the present as it is about the past. By transmitting it from one generation to another, we keep it alive. https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Someday, our children will pass this on to their own children who may themselves become cultural practitioners, authors, filmmakers, museum curators and tour guides.   #HeritageDay https://t.co/kkNU4N78o0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As families, let us encourage our children to spend more time with their grandparents and great grandparents, to listen to them, and where possible to record the histories of our people. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must become our own historians. Our elders and our cultural practitioners are like libraries, valuable libraries of our past.   They have a wealth of information, and we must tell their stories.   #heritageday2021 https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

These are just some of the measures we have taken, and will continue to take, to ensure that our country’s heritage is preserved for generations to come.   This is a task that does not fall on government’s shoulders alone, but on all of our shoulders.   https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have supported the employment of young South Africans in biodiversity conservation, ecosystems restoration and land use management. https://t.co/kkNU4NoJfy — PolitiTweet.org
