As a nation, we have many capabilities, strengths and attributes that we can and must draw on as we rebuild and transform our society. Our people are our greatest strength. It is their grit, determination and sense of solidarity that has enabled us to endure this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we undertake the demanding task to recover from this crisis, there is much about our country from which we can draw hope and encouragement. South Africa is a country of many endowments. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is why we are forging ahead with economic reforms through Operation Vulindlela, which has already made concrete progress in accelerating implementation and shifting our economic trajectory. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is why we continue to implement relief measures such as the Special COVID-19 Grant and the UIF TERS scheme to provide support to those who need it. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
That is why the vaccination programme remains our immediate priority, starting with healthcare workers and then expanding further to reach population immunity in the shortest time possible. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They have spoken about the devastating effect that this pandemic has had on our economy, on our society and on people’s livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are undertaking these critical actions at a time of great difficulty. Several speakers in this debate have emphasised the reality that we are still in the midst of the most severe global health emergency in more than a century. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will rebuild our economy in a manner that is more inclusive, that creates jobs and that lifts people out of poverty. We will put an end to corruption, keep our streets safe and build a state that can effectively serve the people. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is the business of this House to engage not in insults, but on what is needed to restore confidence and to bring stability to our nation. We will overcome the coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To quote Homer, even a fool may be wise after the event. Much of what we heard from the opposition benches over the last two days was little more than name-calling and mudslinging. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have done right by the South African people. We have stayed the course. We have led and will continue to lead this country through the worst crisis of the democratic era. It is much easier to say in hindsight what should have been done differently. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I speak of the families saved from destitution and hunger, the businesses saved from closure, and the workers who were supported so they could still earn and feed their families. I speak of our social partners in business, labour, and civil society. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These are the millions of citizens who despite the difficulties this pandemic has imposed on them, never lost faith in this country or in the commitment of this government to serve and protect them. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These are South Africans like Zoliswa Gidi-Dyosi, a nurse from Cape Town who yesterday became the first person in the country to be vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And so before we get to the business of today, before we turn to our plans and to the immense work that lies ahead, let us give the courageous South African people the dues they so richly deserve. These are health workers and others on the frontline. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
They said we have neither the ability nor the will to protect lives. And yet here we are. On the threshold of a new era in our fight against the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our vaccination programme, our best defence against this pandemic, has begun. This has happened not in a month, not in two months, but now, in mid-February, just as we said it would. Some said we couldn’t do it. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Yesterday this great and hopeful nation, devastated by a deadly pandemic, lifted its head, straightened its back and welcomed a new era in our fight against the pandemic. Less than 24 hours after the shipment landed, the first COVID-19 vaccine was administered in our country. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
11 months ago, when we declared a national state of disaster in response to the coronavirus pandemic, I said to the people of South Africa that we shall overcome. I said, like I did last week, that we will rise. This is inevitable because of the strength of South Africans. — PolitiTweet.org

Taking the vaccine was quick, easy and not so painful. I urge all our healthcare workers to register to receive their vaccinations as they are our first line of defence against the coronavirus pandemic. #WeChooseVacciNation #VaccineforSouthAfrica 🇿🇦 https://t.co/11tyl1f9Xs — PolitiTweet.org

Sister Milanie Bennett is the Clinical Programme Co-ordinator at the Khayelitsha District Hospital in Cape Town. She took me through the consent form and explained the inoculation process to me thoroughly before I took the vaccine shot. https://t.co/VnfAkYhDd5 — PolitiTweet.org

Through this vaccination programme, government aims to achieve population immunity to save lives and protect livelihoods. We have chosen vaccination and we call on all South Africans to choose vaccination and protect one another. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have called on leaders in various sectors and parts of the country to lead by example and get inoculated publicly. We will therefore witness some Premiers, MECs and leaders from civil society, religious formations and traditional leadership being vaccinated in all provinces. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To demonstrate our confidence in this vaccine and help allay any fears that people may have, the Minister of Health and I will join the first health care workers to receive the vaccine in Khayelitsha. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been shown in extensive trials to be safe and efficacious and will protect our health care workers from illness and death from COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I would like to congratulate the Vaccine Inter-Ministerial Committee, the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, Minister of Health @DrZweliMkhize and his team, and the Medical Research Council for responding so rapidly and effectively to this challenge. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are pleased that we are able to begin vaccination by mid-February, as we had announced. This is despite the fact that the AstraZeneca vaccine that we had procured for this purpose showed little efficacy against the 501Y.V2 variant that is currently dominant in South Africa. — PolitiTweet.org
