For almost 10 years, she served as ANC DSG. For 25 years, she served on its NEC. And from the years of her youth to her final days, she served the people of South Africa with dedication, humility & a passion that is all too rare. She worked alongside great leaders of our struggle https://t.co/UHV3u35SZP — PolitiTweet.org

Comrade Jessie was a faithful, dedicated and fiercely loyal leader of the African National Congress. It is difficult to imagine the ANC without our beloved DSG, and to think that we will never again hear her voice and her laughter carrying down the corridors of Luthuli House. https://t.co/NbNuROmeHn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
For as long as I am the President of the African National Congress, I will fulfil the mandate of our 54th National Conference to undertake and complete the fundamental renewal of our movement. https://t.co/LImBXak7VC — PolitiTweet.org

As we undertake these reforms, we remain firm on our position that strategic SOEs must remain in public hands if they are to drive growth, transformation and development. https://t.co/ohxboIUFuQ — PolitiTweet.org

Just as we recognise the role of business in creating employment, we should not diminish the central role of the state in coordinating, planning, guiding and enabling the development of the economy. https://t.co/xea8md68aY — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The accumulated legacy of colonialism and apartheid has been compounded by the effects of state capture & corruption, the devastating impact of COVID-19, an energy crisis that has lasted for more than a decade, and the global instability that the world is going through. https://t.co/4z9sC9Nnwd — PolitiTweet.org

As a movement, we fully support the determination of the SACP to build a powerful socialist movement of workers and the poor. #SACP15thCongress https://t.co/ixbfRrAEfs — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are also mindful that alcohol is as addictive, as dangerous and as harmful as any drug. That is why underage alcohol consumption must be included in the architecture of the Local Drug Action Committees. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I want to call on all Mayors to appoint Local Drug Action Committees in every ward and to give them the necessary support from the municipality. They must also deal with the issue of underage alcohol abuse — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The establishment of Local Drug Action Committees is being championed by the Central Drug Authority, that advises government on drug policies and strategies. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These Local Drug Action Committees are critical for bringing communities, organisations, business, educators and government together to devise strategies to combat substance abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The Prevention of and Treatment of Substance Use Act calls for the establishment of Local Drug Action Committees in all municipalities. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our country has extensive laws to address and combat substance and alcohol abuse. We are not short of laws. The problem lies in their implementation. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Our young people should not be forced to hang on street corners, bahlale ezikoneni, to visit taverns, and to end up in dangerous places because they have nowhere else to hang out. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I want to call on the metro and the Eastern Cape government to make good on their promises to develop more spaces and programmes for the young people of Scenery Park and other disadvantaged areas of the province. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The law is clear. Alcohol may not be sold or served to anyone under the age of 18. Owners of establishments that are permitted to sell alcohol have to ensure that anyone they sell alcohol to is over the age of 18 by asking for ID’s. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Many young people under the age of 18 were drinking alcohol that had been sold to them. The youngest child who died in this tragedy was just 13 years old. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When young people abuse alcohol, they miss school. They fall behind in their learning. They get into fights and into trouble. They get depressed easily and have thoughts of suicide. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The bodies and brains of young people are still growing and changing. They are too young to understand the fine line between having a good time, and becoming addicted. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
What is common to all of these is that they were selling and serving alcohol to under-age patrons, in violation of the law. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Before this tragedy there was the Osi’s tavern in Khayelitsha in 2015, where eight young women died. There was the Throb nightclub disaster in Durban in 2000, where 13 children died and 100 were injured. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is not the first time there has been a tragedy in a place where young people gathered to celebrate. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org

Children should not have been allowed inside that place, a place of adults. They should not have been served alcohol. What was happening was illegal. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Blame must be laid at the feet of those who are making money off the dreams and lives of the young people of South Africa by breaking the law and selling them alcohol. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The young people we are burying lost their lives in a tavern. Indawo yokusela utywala, indawo yabantu abadala. I will say it again, ithaveni yindawo yabantu abadala. Ithaveni asiyondawo yabantwana. https://t.co/yV50hWhwQy — PolitiTweet.org
