19 Jul 2021
Ladies and Gentlemen, and members of the media
Yesterday the world celebrated Nelson Mandela Day and South Africans heeded the call of His Excellency, President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa to clean-up our country. In true South African spirit, we continue to pull together for the common good. As the cleaning-up of South Africa continues, we would like to extend government’s appreciate for the efforts of communities, civil society, business across all sectors, the non-governmental sector for their continued partnership in protecting and cleaning-up South Africa.
Security Updates
Since our last briefing on Friday, 16th July 2021. The situation in Gauteng has completely stabilised and the clean-up and business continuity efforts were fully for those businesses that were not completely vandalised. President Ramaphosa in his capacity as President of the governing party and other leaders of the governing ANC either joined the clean-up campaigns in instances where the community driven cleaning initiatives were still underway or they observed the damage wrought by the riots and the repair work by property owners.
