Acting minister in the presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, made this statement on Monday after apparently conflicting government views.

Acting minister in the presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni speaks at a press briefing on Monday afternoon: 'The unrest was a failed insurrection attempt.'There is no truth to any suggestion that the recent violence and rioting in parts of SA were anything less than an insurgency.

This was in apparent contradiction to President Cyril Ramaphosa, who told the nation on Friday that the unrest was a failed insurrection attempt. Our young democracy and our movement [the ANC] are going through, at the moment, a very difficult time.

Not playing for the same team. Out there for everyone to see 👀. Subdued response in army deployment and now different views on what the violence is about. Making sure the president doesn't succeed in his efforts to restore order.

When two brothers fight to death, a stranger inherit their father's estate (Chinua Achebe).

Time for a cabinet reshuffle

'Not supported by facts': Presidency hits back at defence minister's insurrection denialThere is no truth to any suggestion that the recent violence and riot in parts of SA were anything less than an insurgency, the presidency said on Monday. This was factions fighting not coup or insurrection. We have people walking with guns but we are not looking at that. In Capetown we send soldiers to search and bring order. They carry also guns. One province can't create coup. Who is in charge?

Life Esidimeni inquest to begin on MondayThe patients died after being moved from Esidimeni to often poorly resourced NGOs, which had little experience in looking after them. With all of the ANC’s failures out in the open how stupid are South Africans to return it to power time and again? SA knows who the guilty party is, just lock them up and throw the keys away. VoetsekANC How are these inquests and commissions helping the country since there hasn't been any accountability. This is just another wasteful exercise that won't bare any fruits.
