Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will want to get back to work, to earning, and to looking for work. We want life to resume. We all have plans, hopes and dreams for 2021. Perhaps the greatest of them all is the simplest. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
If we did not understand it before, we should now see just how quickly a situation can change for the worse. The new year is upon us. Our children will soon be going back to school. Places of learning will reopen so we can resume our studies. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The sooner we understand that it could very well be us in that ambulance speeding by, or us in that hospital bed, or us being buried at that funeral, the sooner we come to the reality of what we are facing right now. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By now, each of us knows someone who has been affected by this pandemic in some way. There is none among us who can claim we have not heard of anyone becoming ill, or dying. This is a crisis that affects us all. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Wearing a mask is not about your personal choice or your own appetite for risk. Instead, it is about protecting others. If you wear a mask, and the person next to you does not, then you are not protected. Only if everyone wears a mask can we protect all of us from infection. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is about common sense. It is about taking responsibility for our own health and the health of others. It is about protecting our mothers and fathers, our grandparents, our siblings, our children, neighbours and friends. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We can only weather this storm if we immediately and fundamentally change our mindsets. Compliance with the health regulations should not be simply about fearing the wrath of the law. It should not be about reluctant observance or peer pressure. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As a result, we let down our guard. We take risks. Many of those who have been infected with the virus, or who have lost their friends and family in recent months, will tell you how much they regret not taking these precautions when they had the chance. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As older people, we think it is okay, we are healthy, so we can still go to big religious services, to funerals and socialise with our friends. As young people, we may feel strong and invincible, and believe that we are immune to becoming infected because we are young. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Because we feel healthy now, we think we cannot get sick. Because they seem fine, we believe that nothing bad can happen to our loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must remember that this virus is carried through the air, and that we must therefore avoid what has been described as the three Cs – closed spaces, crowded places and close contact with others. This virus takes advantage of our over-confidence. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Until then, we have no choice but to observe the highest degree of vigilance, and to protect ourselves and others in every way that we can. We each have a responsibility to wear masks, wash or sanitise our hands, and keep a safe distance from others. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Engagements to this effect are at an advanced stage and we urge the private sector to continue their participation in this endeavour. We are working to secure a sufficient supply of vaccines in the shortest possible time to protect the most vulnerable in our community. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As a country we need to build a strong partnership between the government and business sector to augment the resources required in financing the additional vaccines necessary to achieve herd immunity. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are also having parallel bilateral discussions with a number of vaccine manufacturers, and will make further announcements once firm agreements are in place. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are part of the first group of countries that will receive an allocation of vaccines from COVAX. We have been advised that we should expect the vaccines in the second quarter of 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We should remember that the Solidarity Fund is a multisectoral funded initiative having received funding from government, a number of individual South Africans, various institutions including political parties as well as business corporations. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are grateful for the support we continue to receive from the Solidarity Fund across all areas of our COVID response. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We can confirm that we have signed off on the agreement with COVAX and the Solidarity Fund has made the initial payment of R283 million to the facility. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we have reported before, South Africa is part of the global pooled procurement initiative co-ordinated by Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility, commonly known as COVAX. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we intensify our efforts to prevent further infections, we continue to work to ensure equitable access to an effective COVID-19 vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The stark reality is that every single district in this country has the potential to become a hotspot unless we observe the current preventative measures. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those living in the hotspot districts are strongly encouraged to minimise their travel within the district to essential travel so as to minimise contact with other people. Travel to hotspot districts should be avoided if possible. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
National and provincial parks and other parks where access control measures and entry limitations are already in place may remain open to the public. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As the infections continue to rise Cabinet on the advice of the National Coronavirus Command Council has decided that all beaches, dams, lakes, rivers, public parks and public swimming pools in hotspot areas will be closed to the public with effect from tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When I last addressed you we announced that certain beaches in our country would be closed on certain days and others would remain open. — PolitiTweet.org
