For over a year, we have fought this global pandemic together as an international community. Let us now work together, with even greater resolve & focus, to not only prepare for the next pandemic but to build a fairer, healthier & more equitable world. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We look forward to engaging further on the recommendations of the panel, which will enable all countries to strengthen pandemic preparedness. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Such a waiver will enable more countries to produce #COVID19 vaccines, diagnostics and treatments to make them more accessible and affordable for poorer countries.   This is about saving human lives. Not sometime in the future, but right now.   https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

For this reason, earlier this year, the African Union resolved to support the call for a temporary #TRIPSwaiver at the World Trade Organization for COVID-19. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

As we prepare for future pandemics, we need to accelerate efforts to realise Universal Health Coverage. We need to ensure that vaccines and other life-saving treatments are seen and considered as public goods. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We cannot hope to overcome this pandemic for as long as richer countries have most of the world’s supply of vaccines to the exclusion and to the detriment of poorer countries. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

While the pandemic has highlighted the value of partnership, it has also demonstrated the damaging effects of unilateral action and unequal access to resources. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

And in August 2020, we established the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team to secure vaccines for all African countries. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The African Union launched the ground-breaking African Medical Supplies Platform in June 2020 to enable countries to have equitable access to medical supplies, diagnostic tools and therapeutics for COVID-19. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We also appointed prominent Africans as AU Special Envoys to mobilise funding or the continental response and campaign for debt relief for emerging economies. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Among other things, this helped to capacitate the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which has been vital in supporting national and regional responses. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The following month, in April 2020, we established an AU COVID-19 Response Fund, which was capitalised by the Member States, international partners and the private sector. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We also established COVID-19 Task Forces in each of the continent’s five regions to drive the implementation of the continental strategy. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

By working together through the African Union, in March 2020 the countries of the continent developed and began implementing the Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19 Outbreak. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

From the outset, these are the principles that have guided Africa’s response to COVID-19. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

A vital lesson from the coronavirus pandemic is the necessity for collective leadership, collaboration and solidarity among the countries of the world. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We know that it is the virus that causes the disease, but it is human action – and inaction – that causes the pandemic. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The mandate of the panel is founded on the firm conviction that we must act now as a global community to prevent another pandemic from ever again causing such death and devastation. https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We welcome the work of the Independent Panel in reviewing response systems, identifying gaps and risks, and making specific recommendations on how to address these weaknesses.   https://t.co/484UlKlSpz — PolitiTweet.org

When media disseminate stories that are inaccurate or that they know to be false, the public loses faith in them. It is in the best interests of all who love this country & wish for it to succeed that our media is supported, and not hindered in its work. https://t.co/vGO9tEnAX2 https://t.co/7sn2fp4xT2 — PolitiTweet.org

4. Resolve the impasse with the Public Service Wage Negotiations. 5. Mobilise and win the 2021 Local Government Elections   We will not succeed in providing effective leadership on any of these issues unless we unite and work together.   #COSATUMayDay #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Comrades, we have broad agreement on our immediate tasks and the alliance must develop a common platform around these.   1. Unite, renew and build the alliance 2. Promote continued adherence to all COVID-19 health protocols. 3. Mobilise all South Africans to get vaccinated — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Every process of reform is painful and will encounter resistance. In reconfiguring the Alliance, we must put in place structures that will respond to current challenges.   #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We must all work for a decisive victory in these local government elections. We have heard the pleas of workers to improve the way the Alliance functions and we are working together to achieve this.   #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

ANC appreciates the ongoing support of COSATU and especially the renewed support for the forthcoming Local Government Elections in October 2021. We will, as in the past, work together to develop our Manifesto and wage this campaign vigorously in compliance with COVID-regulations. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Communities must be vocal about gender-based violence as silence is often a contributing factor to such abuse. Do not protect perpetrators, whoever they may be.   It is our revolutionary duty to actively work to eradicate gender-based violence from our society.   #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
