President Cyril Ramaphosa receiving a briefing on his arrival in KwaZulu-Natal. He is assessing the impact of the recent public violence and the deployment of security forces in the province.The unrest that gripped KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng was “quite clearly instigated”.
Ramaphosa landed on Friday morning in Durban, which has been ravaged by violent protests, vandalism and looting this week. However, he will not be visiting areas, such as the suburb of Phoenix, and the provincial capital, Pietermaritzburg, that have been most affected.Ramaphosa conceded that government and security agencies could have done better.
“We were overwhelmed by the situation ... we did not want to get in a situation that could have resulted in more mayhem.”“Ordinary citizens have felt they need to defend their areas and their assets. And we welcome that ordinary citizens are working with police to defend [not just] their own assets but our democracy. This is an assault on our democracy. The instigators want to spread instability.”
Ramaphosa said he did not regret initially linking ethnic mobilisation to the unrest, because communication, including voicemails, showed that the “instigators” had been using ethnic terms to mobilise. “It is not about ethnic mobilisation. It's about many causes and we will talk about that later,” he said.
Please a lot of people were amused by looting not having an any idea where is this coming from and where is taking them to? 🤦🏽♂️South Africa.

PR CyrilRamaphosa people are hungry the sooner you understand this the better
An instigation is me telling you to go and do something when you need encouragement to do it, the loot being the encouragement. This was a planned and organized attempt to take over power from him and those who did it had enough people on the ground to implement it.
What happened to Eskom sabotage case?
Beware the Hegelian Dialectic?
We don't care anymore. Ramaphosa has lost the country
They must definitely be arrested for inciting violence and unrest.
