Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have observed incidents of overt or covert racist attacks by ANC members and this must be condemned with all the contempt it deserves. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Comrades, one of the ANC’s fundamental values is that of non-racialism. However, of late there has been a creeping erosion of this value in our movement. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must not allow this to happen in our movement. Women comrades must enjoy the fullness of membership of the ANC and all the rights and responsibilities that entails. To do anything otherwise, is to go against the principles and values of the ANC. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Much more insidious has been the prevalence of sexism in our movement. Male comrades tend to push women comrades out of positions of leadership or verbally attack women leaders in public or on social media or prevent women from standing for positions. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In addition, ANC cadres must mobilise and put pressure on public representatives to finalise the legislation currently before Parliament and aimed at addressing a range of measures, such as tighter bail conditions for alleged perpetrators of GBV. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must address issues of patriarchy and toxic masculinity that allow men and boys to assume that women and girls are inferior to them. We must also empower women and girls, socially and economically to enable them to leave abusive environments. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Gender-based violence plagues our communities. It affects people from all walks of life and is pervasive. Our response to gender-based violence should go beyond the criminal-justice system and speak to the social factors underlying this scourge. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We need to do more in-depth research and have a comprehensive national discussion about this matter. I urge you to have regard to this during your policy discussions. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Substance abuse affects our communities severely and the response to the recent temporary stoppages of the sale of alcohol has illustrated that South Africa has a complicated, possibly unhealthy, relationship with alcohol. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
At the same time, there were some unscrupulous and inhumane individuals who used #COVID19 to steal from the people. Law enforcement must continue to deal with such criminal elements. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
COVID-19 shone a harsh light on who we are as a people and we can be proud of much of what it exposed. Stories of human solidarity abound with many examples of communities coming together to care for the poor and indigent in their midst. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If we are to truly lead society then we must be part of that society and earn the support of the people by serving with integrity, dignity and humility. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must be the driving force of every street committee, every community safety forum, every civic organisation, the ANC must be everywhere. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC must be at the centre of every campaign, every struggle and every popular community organisation that serve the interests of the people. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our historic mission is also to unite the people of South Africa behind the goals of the National Democratic Revolution and we cannot do so if we ourselves are not grounded amongst the people. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC has drawn a line in the sand. The line stands. I have full confidence that delegates to this provincial conference would have applied their minds fully to the mission of our organisation & identified leaders who are best suited to the tasks at hand https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC is a caring organisation, but our care and understanding must not be misconstrued. We will not tolerate divisive behaviour that undermines the organisation and diminishes its standing even further. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is therefore always sad for the ANC to see its leaders behaving in a manner that portrays a less than ideal understanding of the culture, values and principles of the movement. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They would be well within their rights to be appalled when such a leader defies the movement and undermines its standing and unity. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When one assumes a leadership position in this movement, the membership rightly believes that comrade has a more advanced understanding of the rights and duties of an ANC member. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Calling out wrong or deviant behaviour, that demeans the standing of the ANC, is protecting the ANC. Protecting the ANC is a revolutionary imperative. When we join the ANC, we assume the duty to protect and defend the movement, its aims & policies. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are determined to execute the mandate given to us by the NASREC Conference. Delegates to #ANC54 were clear when they said all ANC members, from NEC to ordinary branch members, must work harder to unite & rebuild this glorious movement of our people. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is not unexpected. Any project of renewal and rebuilding will encounter resistance from those who benefited from the deviant practices of the past. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our movement is also going through a period characterised by instances of ill-discipline, disrespect for organisational norms and values and resistance. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There are also various infrastructure projects planned for the Northern Cape, such as the planned refurbishment of existing water infrastructure, drilling of boreholes and other initiatives across several municipalities in the province. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Northern Cape has carried the legacy of being the biggest province, geographically, and the most underdeveloped for far too long. We must change the mindset to seeing it as the province with the most potential for development. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Building on the directives set out by the ANC and the Alliance, government developed the Economic Recovery and Reconstruction Plan to guide our economy to grow more inclusively and equitably. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We could rebuild in a more equitable and humane manner and ensure that more black people, more women, more rural people and more young people can participate fully and productively in the economy. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are aware of teething problems and challenges experienced such as delayed TERS/ UIF payments and the relatively slow take up of the loan guarantee scheme by small businesses. Our pledge to you is that we learn from these experiences and will do better. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Government was also able to target its financial, social and other assistance programmes to a large degree. These programmes made a meaningful difference and mitigated against the worst ravages of the pandemic. https://t.co/yq20hL4uT1 — PolitiTweet.org
