In reference to what were then sporadic but increasingly violent protests, I said: “It is a matter of concern to all South Africans that some of these acts of violence are based on ethnic mobilisation. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Chairperson, As I conclude, I want to refer to one of the matters the Commission has raised with me, and it is the statement I made on the role of ethnic mobilisation in fuelling the unrest. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We are prioritising the development of a National Security Strategy, which is one of the recommendations of the Africa Report. In doing so, we will ensure there is a rigorous and thorough process of public consultation. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
One of the learnings from the unrest of July 2021 is that we need to rethink the role of the private security industry, particularly as this relates to support to the South African Police Service. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We will be ensuring that the NSC meets at least every two months without fail. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We will be promulgating regulations that will require the intelligence structures to provide intelligence to the National Intelligence Coordination Committee (NICOC), so that intelligence is shared and used, properly and timeously, by relevant structures. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The work of strengthening the capacity of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster is ongoing. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To deal with the problems that impacted our state of readiness and response to the July unrest, government has taken certain decisions regarding the intelligence services and the police. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Its findings and recommendations have been accepted by government, so I will not dwell on the matters covered in the report. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It further provides specific recommendations on remedial action to safeguard the integrity, security and stability of the country. The Africa Report is in the public domain and has been submitted to the Human Rights Commission. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The panel submitted their report – which has become known as the Africa Report – in December 2021. It details the response of the various state entities to the unrest and identifies several weaknesses and shortcomings. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
On the 5th of August 2021 I appointed an expert panel to lead a thorough and critical review of our preparedness and the shortcomings in our response. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
While there had been intelligence reports about the possibility of instability, neither the security services nor the government more broadly anticipated the nature, extent or ferocity of those events. https://t.co/6bIC5Q9q72 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
That economic infrastructure was targeted in the manner that it was, shows clearly that the intention was to bring our economy to its knees and thereby destabilise our democracy. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
What this country experienced was not a popular uprising of the poor, as the peddlers of misinformation sought to characterise it. It was not the bubbling over of discontent over an allegedly legitimate political grievance. It was an attempted insurrection https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have acknowledged that as government we were poorly prepared for an orchestrated campaign of public violence, destruction and sabotage of this nature. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There were likely criminal elements stoking the flames, in the seemingly well-organised targeting of factories and warehouses but also in the violence that broke out between certain communities in Kwa-Zulu/Natal. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The socio-economic conditions in the country played a role in the causes of the unrest. This could explain why so many ordinary South Africans would participate in the looting; risking arrest, injury and, in some cases, death. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The identity of these individuals and the motives for their actions are the subject of ongoing investigations and legal proceedings. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The fundamental cause of this unrest was a deliberate decision by certain individuals to instigate, coordinate and incite widespread destruction of property, violence and looting. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As has been the case so many times in the past, the people of South Africa showed that they love their country dearly, and will always stand united against threats to its security. https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
But try as they might, they did not turn us against each other. To the contrary, South Africans came together as never before. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have heard from media monitoring and data analysis agencies in these hearings how instigators led well-orchestrated campaigns on social media to inflame racial tensions, spread fake news and disseminate misinformation. #JulyUnrestHearing https://t.co/6bIC5Q8Shu — PolitiTweet.org
