Non-essential establishments like restaurants, bars and fitness centres will need to close by 10pm. This is to allow their employees and patrons to travel home before the start of the curfew. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Based on these discussions, Cabinet has therefore decided that the country will be placed on Adjusted Alert Level 2 with effect from tomorrow. This means that: - The hours of #curfew will start at 11pm and end at 4am. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These recommendations have been discussed at the National Coronavirus Command Council and, earlier today, with Premiers, mayors and traditional leaders in the President’s Coordinating Council. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Further restrictions are necessary to ensure that health facilities are not overwhelmed and that lives that could be saved are not lost. Delaying the spread of the virus is especially important now to allow as many people as possible to be vaccinated before the third wave peaks. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It bases this recommendation on the sustained increase in new cases in the last 14 days, increased hospital admissions in almost all provinces and an increase in the proportion of COVID tests that are positive. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19 has therefore recommended that the country urgently implement further restrictions to limit the increase in infections. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The increase in daily cases is following the same trajectory as it did at the start of the previous two waves. We have seen in other countries the tragic consequences of allowing the virus to spread unchecked. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have not been as vigilant about wearing our masks all the time, we have not been avoiding crowded places, and we have been socialising more. As a result, infections are surging again. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Other sites of increased transmission are funerals and ‘after tears’ parties, as well as camps and sporting activities at schools. Because rates of infection have been low for some time, and because we are all suffering from pandemic fatigue, we have tended to become complacent. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These protocols include the wearing of masks, social distancing, ensuring adequate ventilation and limits on the number of people who attend gatherings. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
According to our health experts, the recent surge in new infections is due to the increasing number of social gatherings where people are not observing essential health protocols. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The provinces of Free State, Northern Cape, North West and Gauteng have reached the threshold of a third wave of infections. It may only be a matter of time before the country as a whole will have entered a third wave. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The proportion of COVID-19 tests that are positive has more than doubled in the last month from around 4 per cent to more than 11 per cent, even as we have increased testing across the country. We are advised that a positivity rate of over 5 per cent is a cause for concern. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But now, after several months of low transmission, the number of infections has begun to rise sharply in several parts of the country. We have seen a sustained increase over the last four weeks. Over the last seven days, we have seen an average of 3,745 daily new infections. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Then, the number of new daily infections had stabilised at a relatively low level, and we had placed the country on Coronavirus Alert Level 1. While we continued to urge caution, the low levels of transmission allowed us to ease restrictions on the size of gatherings. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Fellow South Africans, It has been some time since we last held a family meeting. When I last spoke to you, exactly two months ago, South Africa was recovering from a deadly second wave of coronavirus infections. — PolitiTweet.org

Mam’ Charlotte Maxeke said it best: “ This work is not for ourselves, kill that spirit of self and do not live above your people but live with them and if you can rise, bring someone with you.” https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In conclusion, comrades, let me reiterate. Unite, unite based on the principles and values of the ANC. Serve the people selflessly. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As mandated by #ANC54, we continue to intensify our solidarity with the Saharawi people and will give much more practical assistance whenever possible. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Here on our own continent, we will not rest until the people of Western Sahara have realised their independence. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We continue to urge for peace and a solution to this conflict, that is premised on a just settlement that facilitates equality and equity for all who have a right to live in the territories of Israel and Palestine. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Comrades, our principled support for the peoples of #Palestine in their fight for self determination is unwavering. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The situation in the north of Mozambique should concern all Africans, and especially those of us in the SADC region. As SADC, we are paying close attention to ensure regional stability and security. #BetterAfricaBetterWorld https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
African nations managed to cooperate almost from the start of the pandemic developing a continental response strategy, setting up an African Response Fund and a common African Medical Supplies Platform. We worked together. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This pandemic has really shown the interconnectedness of the world and proved how much all nations need to cooperate for mutual development and human prosperity. #BetterAfricaBetterWorld https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will have to be very innovative and adapt to using new tactics to reach communities if we are unable to use face-to-face campaigning under pandemic conditions. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our processes to choose candidates for the local government elections must be conducted transparently & according to the guidelines. Let us not repeat the mistakes of the past where there were instances of deviation from the accepted norms and guidelines https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We urge you to choose the best amongst us to represent the ANC at the polls. We must reflect on what we mean when we say the best among us. ANC councillors must be capable and willing to serve the people selflessly. https://t.co/yq20hKMTur — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Comrades, we are scheduled to hold Local Government Elections later in the year. Local government is the sphere of government closest to the people and best placed to address the people’s needs. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC must respond swiftly and decisively whenever it encounters racism within its midst or in our country. We know all too well the high price our people have paid under a racist regime and we will not allow it to recur. — PolitiTweet.org
