We are one of the few countries in the world to have a state-owned insurance company, SASRIA, which provides cover against incidents of public violence, strikes, riots and unrest. Businesses that are insured will be covered by SASRIA. — PolitiTweet.org

To support those who have no means of supporting themselves, we are reinstating the Social Relief of Distress Grant to provide a monthly payment of R350 until the end of March 2022. This has been made possible by the slight improvement we have seen in our revenue collection. — PolitiTweet.org

Although calm has been restored to these areas, the impact of the violence and destruction continues to be felt by households, employees and businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I speak of the lives that were cut short, and the families that lost their loved ones. I speak of the business owner who in a single day lost what it took years to build. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This led to the loss of more than 300 lives, looting of shops, warehouses and factories, damage to critical infrastructure, and disruption of the country’s economy. We are still counting the cost of this violence, and coming to terms with the destruction that it left in its wake. — PolitiTweet.org

Fellow South Africans, Two weeks ago, the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng were hit by deliberate, planned and coordinated acts of violence designed to create the conditions for unrest. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org

I urge all South Africans to register for vaccination as soon as they are eligible, whether online, via WhatsApp or USSD, or by calling the toll-free number on 0800 029 999. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org

It is also important to monitor the emergence of new variants and to secure access to future vaccines that are adapted to these variants. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While there is ample supply of vaccines for the short term, we must ensure that this supply is delivered on time and without disruption. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Within the next two to three months, we are scheduled to receive around 31 million additional doses from Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson. This supply pipeline means that there will be sufficient vaccine doses available for the rest of the year. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are now able to allow people to present themselves at a vaccination site without an appointment and be registered and vaccinated. This substantial increase in the rate of vaccination is made possible by improvements in the supply of vaccines. https://t.co/PaHJTh51Ci — PolitiTweet.org
