The president’s address follows recent meetings of Cabinet, the National Coronavirus Command Council and the President’s Coordinating Council, which considered the prospects for the country’s progression from Alert Level 4 to Alert Level 3 of the national lockdown, the presidency said.
When Ramaphosa addressed the nation on May 13 he announced government's plans to ease the country's lockdown restrictions to level 3 as well as the opening up of various sectors of commerce. He also announce a raft of social welfare measures to assist the neediest members of society. Sadly, smokers who had been hoping that the ban on sales of tobacco products would be lifted were disappointed when, contrary to Ramaphosa's indications during his speech, Cogta Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma announced a few days later that the ban would remain in place.
'I leave it into your hands,Now we will be under Local levels' assumption.
Totally agree with moving to level 3. Something dont make sense. ALCHOL IS IN AND SMOKING NOT. Mr Ramaposa and his ministers think we are their kids. We are not. Look at the police smoking in streets. where do they get this
Why do you ask this? *I* tell him what to say cyrilramaphosa NDZMustRise
He just said Alcohol will be sold but i don't trust this, i will wait for NZD who will make final decision
When is lockdown ending
That he is giving each Citizen R1M out of that R500 Billion aid package.
Whatever he is going to say will be a lie.
I want the cigarette ban lifted. Ffs u wanna unban alchohol, seriously disgusting!
I resign and dissolve the cabinet, new elections...and only tax payers are eligible to vote
When is he sending a plane to go load that lengana drink from Madagascar? We are thirsty....
R350
Does it actually matter? NDZ will just change it tomorrow, then we have Patel and a host of others, it might just be fun to watch this drama unfold somewhat, but if he is in power, where are those tests kits? Does he agree with Cele appealing the Alex rulings?
That he is stepping down as president
Why you getting bigger Mr President but We are getting thinner? Kumnandi kule COVID 19 neh?
Honesty and transparency please
Honesty..........
To forbid the sale of alcohol,cigarette and arrest those will be found selling them in street and in spaza shops
Irrelevant what we’d like to hear. Our opinions don’t count nor matter.
He's resigning & he'll be situated in Capetown.
Nothing
lift the ban on cigarettes
SOME ACTUAL LEADERSHIP WOULD BE GREAT
Fellow SAcans.....I am sorry I am late....again...
Why does he give so much power to those ministers promulgating regulations that have no basis in science or logic?
Unban ciggies, unban everything, give us our freedom and rights back, why not just stop the lockdown all together 🤔🤔.. if not, just the ciggies will do for now..
The truth nothing but the truth. But that is wishful thinking.
That they are not responsible for making decisions about our health choices , our exercise regimes , our drinking habits and what we wear . We will respect social distancing
I WANT TO HEAR THAT WE ARE GOING TO LOCK UP PARLIAMENT, GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SERVICE IN ORDER TO SAFE LIFE‘s FROM CORRUPTION. That we will not hear from this spineless philosopher who tells us for 40 minutes „NOTHING“!!!
Does it even matter?
Selling of alcohol and cigarettes is still prohibited
That we going back to level 5. With more than 20k of COVID19 cases out of 500k plus tested is too much. How much will we have when 30 million is tested?
Nothing he says is relevant. They liars. Just a hunch of rtards. Hoping the Corona takes them
DlaminiZuma, bhekicele_com, Lindiwe Zulu, Nosiviwe Noluthando Mapisa-Nqakula and Ebrahim Patel have been removed from Cabinet.
TeaLira12 that he is resigning
Nothing
A sentence with the word 'cure' or 'vaccine' would be nice! Covid_19 Coronavirus WeAreCput WeAreCputMedia
All business activity open except for hospitality All social gatherings remain restricted No liquor & cigarette sales Schools not opening Prosecution of business that operate without proper health protocol and equipment
It will be good if he spend time explaining his Gov draconian rules to his people, most of which holds no scientific reasoning
Maybe this time he can respect his people enough to at least start on time.
His resignation please, thanks you!!! You overstayed your welcome VIVA African National Covid 19 Looters who brought you the National Covid 19 Command Council of destruction and Poverty creation
shame
That the ANC has all resigned
that the whole lot of them are going to jump in the lake.
Tax free supporting Zuma corrupt illegal tobacco smugglers
That the promises he made regarding the uif will be fulfilled for those who are waiting months for their normal ie. maternity, retrenchment benefits.
Too much info has been leaked,I will be listening only to confirm.
I want to hear him talk about the economy after lockdown, i want to hear him talk about the unemployment alleviation measures to be takenputSouthAfricansfirst
We have accepted the existing cures and they will be given to anyone with Covid-19. Everything will go back to normal. Ties with WHO have been cut and we will review the current vaccines policy. An arrest warrant for Bill Gates has been warranted.
We already know..alcohol is available and cigarettes not.
Angie is suspended and schools will reopen when rate of infections slows
Our President, His Excellency Cyril Ramaphosa is being attacked left right by corrupt, evil, divisive looters of ordinary people resources, they are starving since President Ramaphosa took the power.
And tomorrow Nkosazana zuma will come with a different story. I don't waist my time listen to Matamela cause the final word come from Zuma
Open the efen parliament and listen for once what people have to say...we are fed up with this BS. It is enough that this self made aristocracy is running us towards Zimbabwe.
'Eid Mubarak Bhai'
Easing the Lockdown Regulations for more workers to get get back on work and applying all the relevant requirements are adhering to the rules and regulations. Lastly he gotta lift the ban on alcohol and cigarettes and put strict measures when he lift the ban.
I'll wait for NDZ to tell us what we can't after the President says we can do
Only the things that NDZ cleared him to say then at least no changes tomorrow.
Alcohol ban lifted
He is doing an excellent job, and he must keep it up, not be intimidated by sponsored anger! prioritize lives first, taxes and profits later. Without people there will be no taxes/profits
Lift the ban of alcohol and cigarette sales by next week Friday 🤣😂🤣
I would like him to announce the resignation of zol zuma.
This is my last weekend sober
The truth for a change
Clear economic plans to resuscitate our ailing economy, we need those plans now more than ever, we need to know where we going after covird19. He keeps on making promises but there plans are no where to be found.
The Macarena?
Can be happier indeed if however Ramaphosa can come out clean and tell our nation that his methods about combating Coronavirus has failed therefore will try this medication from Madagascar before's too too late I'm aware not yet tested but others using it and gives gud results
That he drops the dam tobacco ban!!! Dlamini-Zuma is a dam criminal!
That he become the President again and not NDZ’s yes man. Time that he takes control again, and notice that they have lost all goodwill. It doesn’t help the people or the country now to worry about the ANCWL regarding NDZ. She is worse than that the virus is for the Country now
Can he perhaps just WhatsApp us the message. askingforafriend
What Did We Do Now
He must allow residential construction to resume, we are starving!!! 😢
I would like to explain his why is he so involved with the Rupert family , why doesn’t he explain the impact of opening the lock down now the opening it next year February ? Yes that’s right his plan is for next year February
He must pay refugees and asylum seekers their money for UIF
Notice you say on 'Sunday night' No specific time.
Ask parents to try this at home. For how many hours can your child keep a mask on and keep distance from others?
Are we looking at CR time of South Africans time. Hope he doesn't keep the whole nation waiting for half an hour like the last addresses.
No. More. Cigarette. Ban.
Please don't ask silly question.
PutSouthAfricansFirst Enough is enough
Great that he is doing requests, Shosholoza with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and maybe a bit of Marley would be nice. Redemption song or Buffalo Soldier.
Nothing he is a massenger ...NDZ must address us
That government is here to SERVE the citizens of this country, not DICTATE to them. We are a free democracy not a communist dictatorship. Make GUIDELINES not stupid regulations. Let people buy whatever they want; Allow legitimate business to open; focus the law on criminals.
ENDLOCKDOWNNOW
2 things: Alcohol naleyompahla (R350)
How long is Government going to feed the needy. They can't even manage to pay out the R350 . We need to start earning money so Mr President please let the economy open with strict guide lines.
Open. The. Fking. Country. And quarantine the vulnerable.
🚬 🚬
I would like to hear what he has to say something about Grant payments, systems in place to ensure the poor get food parcels and not stricter laws in terms of public movements. How are they going to assist WC.
I'm sorry, but judging from past addresses, he will say things that will be altered tomorrow.
That he’s going to shoot himself and all the members of the NCC! Yes, that should do it for me.
The resignation of the MYANC
That we are ready to handle the increase in infections and we can start buying alcohol again 😁🎉
You're asking as if PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA MYANC DlaminiZuma even cares what we think. Democracy in South Africa se moer. We're inching our way into Communism or Socialism
I'm still consulting...
“Lockdown is over go out and enjoy yourselves”
Go and buy cigarettes immediately and if that crook in a doek says anything, just ignore her.
If he can dwell on local & international travel...quite a number of foreigners who have been stucked in RSA....
That he’s resigning.
Youve grown a set and fired Zuma. The illogical bans have been canceled with immediate effect. Collect the taxes Tito. That’ll do for a start. DlaminiZuma 👋
A clear direction. Leaving it up to the Ministers just causes chaos and confusion.
Can he tell us why the NDZ tokoloshe is so hell bent on cigarettes and why they would need ventilation when the health system hasn't even procured the necessary equipment...and supposedly never will...
Ullift tbis whole covid-19 thing
I've never had him comment about reopening of schools so i would like to hear him put his own views regarding this matter
Resignations en masse
come on time. ...this is not 1st worl country copying 1st world dont work in 2nd world..ppl understand social ubuntu
That 👏🏽 vape 👏🏽 juice 👏🏽 will 👏🏽 be 👏🏽legal 👏🏽 and 👏🏽heets 👏🏽 for 👏🏽mental 👏🏽 sanity👏🏽
Go back to level 5
Lifting of alcohol ban
Whatever he says I am fine with it, I don't have a choice.
Oh no same more bullshit.
Doesn't matter what he says. His bosses, NDZ and her boss, Mazzotti, will overrule him anyway. He's just a puppet.
CyrilRamaphosa
AND HE WILL SAY BUGGER ALL OF VALUE. HE WILL SAY WHAT HE IS TOLD.
Wonder what now. Eid Mubarak
Uyosivulela nini ukuya emizini yethu
Followed by an address a few days later by his boss, NDZ, to correct all the lies and false promises the puppet 'president' made on Sunday.

Cyril Ramaphosa is managing to keep his balance as he walks the Covid-19 tightropeAlthough the number of people critical of the president is rising, there is no doubt he has risen to the challenge and offered visible leadership in a crisis, writes Kaizer Nyatsumba President Ramaphosa has not managed to find ‘balance’ in SA’s response to pandemic. The regulations that have been imposed upon us are ridiculous and over the top. We have seen very little evidence to back up some of the decisions made by government. PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa I wonder where he is, what his actual powers are, if he is making any decions or just following orders from WHO. Who?
