Our police were faced with a difficult situation and exercised commendable restraint to prevent any loss of life or further escalation. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org

While we commend the brave actions of our security forces on the ground, we must admit that we did not have the capabilities and plans in place to respond swiftly and decisively. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, As this government, we must acknowledge that we were poorly prepared for an orchestrated campaign of public violence, destruction and sabotage of this nature. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org

They were grateful for the support of the security forces and made it clear to me that they stand united and will work with government to restore stability. https://t.co/g9XdPGkBDM — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As that determination in action today as I walked through the streets of eThekwini. I saw people cleaning up the streets, rebuilding their lives, standing together united in their diversity – young and old, men and women, black and white. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It has failed because of the efforts of our security forces, and it has failed because South Africans have rejected it and have stood up in defence of our hard-won democracy. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Yet, despite the widespread destruction, this attempted insurrection has failed to gain popular support. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Through social media, through fake news and misinformation, they have sought to inflame racial tensions and violence. Worst of all, they have sought to manipulate the poor and vulnerable for their own benefit. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ensuing chaos is used as a smokescreen to carry out economic sabotage through targeted attacks on trucks, factories, warehouses and other infrastructure necessary for the functioning of our economy and the provision of services to our people. https://t.co/pFd9MLhwHm — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They have sought to exploit the social & economic conditions under which many South Africans live, conditions that have worsened since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, and to provoke citizens and criminalS to engage in opportunistic acts of looting. https://t.co/fFlI9KpMHg — PolitiTweet.org
