Although we recorded a far higher number of infections in the fourth wave than in each of the previous waves, there were relatively fewer cases of severe illness, hospitalisation and death. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org

As I said in the State of the Nation Address, we have now entered a new phase in the COVID-19 pandemic. The changing nature of the pandemic in our country was most evident in the fourth wave of the pandemic in December and January. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
However, in the context of a free and open democratic society, the additional powers that a state of disaster provides are temporary and limited. Â They should be maintained only as long as they are absolutely necessary. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is precisely the purpose for which a state of disaster is intended: to enable an effective disaster response that saves lives. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
All these measures were necessary not only to respond to the devastating effects of the pandemic on human health, but also to limit the great cost to society and the economy. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The National State of Disaster also enabled the provision of relief to small businesses, the extension of the validity of vehicle and drivers’ licences, and the management of the pandemic in educational institutions, among other things. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The National State of Disaster also provided the legal basis for the introduction of the special R350 Social Relief of Distress Grant, which continues to bring much needed relief to those most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These measures were effective in slowing down the rate of infection, easing pressure on hospitals, and providing the time needed to develop the infrastructure, resources & capacity to manage a large number of people who became ill as a result of COVID-19. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The declaration of the National State of Disaster on 15 March 2020 empowered government to take the measures that prevented many more people from becoming severely ill and saved countless lives. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The declaration of a state of disaster was a response to a global health crisis that posed a grave threat to the lives and the well-being of our people. There is no doubt that such a response was necessary under these circumstances. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org

My Fellow South Africans,  For the past 750 days, South Africa has been in a National State of Disaster. This is an extraordinary situation that is unprecedented in our country’s history. https://t.co/K7b6w865hn — PolitiTweet.org

As we forge ahead with efforts to strengthen the capacity of the state and rebuild institutions that were systematically weakened by state capture, we have much to learn from what SARS has achieved in a relatively short space of time. https://t.co/KpgJMDRFP2 https://t.co/ipnyA2jKri — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Now is the time for us to focus, to pay attention on what will advance the interests of our people, and on how the ANC should reposition itself as it leads society, as it renews itself and demonstrates that we are fit and proper to continue leading this country going forward. https://t.co/HLWX752WNj — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Renewal of the ANC should be premised on leadership that is resolute in taking action against anyone acting at variance with the Constitution, principles and values of the organisation. https://t.co/no7DVpcK4l — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The internal squabbles and divisions among us distract us and cause us to lose attention on the task at hand. Our contestations are rooted in battles over power and access to resources. We must remain focused on driving economic reconstruction and recovery to create jobs. https://t.co/VxQkyU17EJ — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are greatly encouraged by the plans for investment promotion in tourism, in network industries, in social infrastructure, in agriculture, in agro-processing, in mining and manufacturing, to name but a few. https://t.co/sZ97nDJdBs — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking to members of the media on conclusion of my submission to the @SAHRCommission Panel on the Investigative National Hearing into the July 2021 Unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/GF9KV5yr3p — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are repositioning the State to ensure that it is becomes more efficient in serving and addressing the needs of our people. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/i4CG9C3Iii — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In time to come, let it be said that in our determination to rebuild that we stood as one, transcending the firebreaks of race and class, and in pursuit of the common good. The good of our country. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will heal from this, as we have from the many traumas of our past. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have learned many lessons. But we have also seen our faith in humanity restored by those who stood against looting by guarding shops, those who helped deliver food and other aid to distressed communities, and those who helped with clean-up operations. https://t.co/oTGcvSKP3t — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Like all South Africans, it is my hope that these hearings will contribute to a process of healing for those who have testified here, for the many who could not but who have followed proceedings, and for the families of those who lost their lives. https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are determined to heal from the collective national trauma wrought by the events of July 2021, and these hearings form an integral part of that healing. https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Much was lost in the eight days of July 2021, and much has had to be rebuilt. Â We are still rebuilding. Not only with bricks and mortar, but also the fragile relations between our communities. https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In some instances people’s rights to health, food and water were also violated. Worst of all, for hundreds of people the right to human dignity, and to life itself, was taken away.  I commend you for the work you have done and continue to do in this regard. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As much as what happened was an assault on our democracy, it was also an assault on the people’s rights to freedom and security, to freedom of movement and association, and to freedom of trade, occupation and property. https://t.co/9zTJar036r — PolitiTweet.org
