We call on our structures to develop programmes to educate citizens about rights and resources available to survivors of gender-based violence. Too often people stay in abusive situations as they are not aware of the resources available to them. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The scourge of gender-based violence is an indictment on our people. It finds its roots in backwards attitudes of patriarchy and chauvinism and must be eradicated in all its formations. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Social ills such as substance abuse, gender-based violence and femicide stalk our population. There needs to be further, in-depth study of the socio-economic causes of these ills and refine our responses to go beyond judicial- legal responses. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In fact, no instance of criminality and corruption must go unaddressed. It is only when we adopt an attitude of zero tolerance in our ranks that we will make a lasting difference. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those people, especially those charged with positions of public trust, who used this pandemic to steal from the people and unjustly enrich themselves must feel the full brunt of the law. Such misdeeds will not go unpunished. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This #COVID19 pandemic has illustrated the enormous depth of humanity with wonderful stories of solidarity and patriotism. At the same time, it also showed depths of depravity of some of our compatriots. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The stimulus supports a range of programmes, from expanding traditional public employment to protecting existing jobs and providing support for livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Some of these programmes are beginning to show positive effects, such as the #PresidentialEmploymentStimulus, established in response to the economic impact of #COVID19, and is the most rapid expansion of public employment in South Africa’s history. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Social partners, working mainly through #NEDLAC, put together the elements of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan. This plan sets out a series of actions aimed at fundamentally changing the economy and the jobs market and making it more inclusive and more equitable. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is absolute agreement that unemployment and the jobs bloodbath, exacerbated by the pandemic, are devastating. We must take drastic action to create sustainable jobs that make a meaningful difference to people’s lives. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
#COSATU a while ago proposed that certain public holidays and election day be declared non-trading holidays. Government has begun the process to amend the Public Holidays Act and will begin a series of public consultations within the next few months. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The precarious economic situation has also had an impact on our ability to finalise a wage agreement with public servants. The government re-affirms its commitment to protecting collective bargaining and all other labour rights that many sacrificed so much for. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As is well known, South Africa was already in a precarious economic position even before the pandemic. The precarious economic situation is having a negative impact on our people as a whole as the reprioritisation of spending affects expenditure in a number of areas. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is without a doubt true that #COVID19 put unforeseen & massive pressure on an already strained fiscus. We have had to reprioritise our spending across a range of areas in order to fund social, medical & other interventions to mitigate against the worst ravages of the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Developing countries must be made to internalise that hoarding available vaccines and not waiving vaccine patents will lead to immense suffering and tremendous loss of human life. None of us are safe until all of us are safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The best way in which to fight COVID-19 is to ensure that as many people as possible are vaccinated as fast as possible. This disease cares nothing for borders, economic, military or other prowess. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We call on #COSATU, and the rest of the Mass Democratic Movement, to intensify their efforts to join with progressive forces in our country and throughout the world to advocate for vaccine patents waivers. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Workers of the world must unite to compel developed countries and large pharmaceutical companies to display more social solidarity in addressing this pandemic. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
South Africa and India have made a strong call, which is supported by more than a hundred countries, for a temporary #TRIPSwaiver of vaccine patents at the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This will allow developing nations more speedy and equitable access to the vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Now, we have experienced the high degree of vaccine imperialism that exists in the world in that more developed countries have tended to hoard vaccine supplies at the expense of lesser developed countries. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will soon begin vaccinating people over sixty (60) and certain other, designated categories of people with comorbidities and other high-risk groups in Phase 2 of the vaccine rollout. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In the interim, South Africa also increased our supplies of the Pfizer vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
No instances of blood clotting were detected in the South African trial thus far. Our country resumed the Sisonke trial of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, on Wednesday and with strengthened protocols to screen and monitor for potential blood clots. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There have been a number of unforeseen delays to our vaccine programme and we have to do much better going forward. We had to pause the Johnson and Johnson/ Sisonke trial due to reports of this vaccine being linked to incidents of blood clotting in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our people are must still maintain their vigilance and continue adhering to protocols of maintaining social distance, wearing a mask and avoiding crowded spaces whilst we now get our vaccine programme underway on a massive scale. Worker leaders must be exemplary in this regard. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A united Alliance, made of the peoples movement, the vanguard and the fighting force for workers, and a vibrant civic organisation, is still the best force to drive the National Democratic Revolution. It is certainly a strong force to lead our campaign against the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is in such times of difficulty that the Alliance must continue to show united leadership. Let us not allow ourselves to be diverted from the challenging tasks at hand; let us deal with matters that cause strife & division but be clear about addressing the needs of the people. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The alliance coordinated our response together with government and provided the leadership in a multi-pronged and coherent manner. Citizens largely conducted themselves admirably and this behaviour aided our efforts to contain the virus to a considerable extent. #WorkersDay — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This has been the most challenging time that our country and its people have faced since the beginning of the democratic era. The leaders of the Alliance showed the utmost unity throughout the #COVID19 pandemic and have been able to give clear leadership to the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Frontline workers, such as medical personnel, police, teachers, other staff members in the public service, workers in the retail sector and other workers put their lives on the line during the height of the pandemic to keep the country going. We salute these heroes & heroines. — PolitiTweet.org
