The last week saw two significant developments that will, in different ways, change South Africa, says president Cyril Ramaphosa.

Writing in his weekly open letter to the public, Ramaphosa pointed to the lifting of the country’s remaining Covid-19 restrictions – including limitations on gatherings, international travel and wearing masks in public.

“While there was not much fanfare about the lifting of the last Covid-19 restrictions, there has been a tectonic shift in our national psyche. We are emerging from a great national trauma that caused untold damage, destruction and heartbreak.” “The state capture era was a different kind of national trauma. Its damage extended beyond the ransacking of the public purse, the attempted destruction of our public institutions and the grand corruption that robbed the South African people of what was rightfully theirs. It was also a betrayal of the values of our Constitution, and of the principles upon which our democracy was founded.
