The UN has pledged more than R20m in financial support to KZN in efforts to rebuild and redevelop sectors of its economy and society that were affected by the civil unrest.

The MOU comes off the back of just over a week-long civil unrest that engulfed KZN and parts of Gauteng following the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma in July. The riots claimed more than 300 lives in KZN and caused damages amounting to billions, shrinking the province’s gross domestic product.

“The intentions of the support that we wish to provide through this MOU complements ongoing efforts of the provincial government while ensuring we avoid duplication of efforts,” Bhekele-Thomas said. Zikalala said that among the various pillars that made up the MOU, inclusive growth and job creation had been dubbed a priority. Efforts to rebuild were divided into immediate, medium and long term goals following a visit by Bhekele-Thomas to the province in July, just after the unrest,.

“We appreciate that the UN has pledged its support to the Provincial Government of KwaZulu-Natal to assist in rebuilding affected communities and to address the underlying causes of the complex developmental landscape in the province.

Don't worry, they will soon be getting a certificate to mine somewhere in KZN

🤣🤣🤣 give it a few days & the whole money will be mysteriously gone!

The money is less than 1.4 million USD. We should stop celebrating mediocre. Sihle should have send a ward Councillor to collect and take pictures. We can't keep being undermined for such.. Sies

We see you UN

Into the pockets of corrupt politicians.

Bafunani?

Why?

Bazothathani ke ngoba ave phela nina ningoMsamariya abalungileyo niyanika

In exchange for what?

UN pledges R20m to the greedy and corrupt black politicians of KZN.

Kzn is gone for merely R20M🤔🤔🤔🤔. Nothing is for mahala in is SA.

This isn’t good news.

Asiwuceli haaai yini abayifunayo la kzn in return 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

Yay Ake nisiyeke ngobuthakathi nina, cz awukho uR20m wamahhala emhlabeni 🤞🏾🤮🚮🚮

What do they want?

😂 UnitedNations actually fell for it!! Wave bye to the money 😂😂😂 Anc can now pay their workers atleast

In exchange for what sziks, You foot has always been in it

Oh wow, we get paid by the UN for looting ? If there's more looting, do we get more cash?

Now some stupid official is going to make R19 million to provide R1 million for recovery. Citizens will only see R50 000 and a street will be named Recovery Street to commemorate the past event.

Here’s an open invitation…

No man will give you something without expecting something back in return. There's no free lunch

CJ Mogoeng once told us that the is nothing for free in government, so is he right or wrong? kzngov

Let the feasting at the ANC trough of corruption commence

Why?

Because they sponsored the unrest?

Translation: pledges 20m to exploit the gas and 'worthless crystals, not diamonds' in KZN. Ingonyama trust will 'coincidentally' lose lots of land as a 'natural consequence' of 'economic crisis' & 'unrest recovery'

JackD157

The sad part is…. There is not one tweet response that indicates the money will be used wisely! All indicate it will be stolen!😢 We as a country are lost!

That money will disappear faster than you can say 1, 2, 3 UN. Sorry for you millions upon billions disappear here in SA

They should give it to the gift of the givers not the people who started it!!!!

Use the R20m to make sure all the murderous racist Indians who massacred and butchered our people get life imprisonment And also make sure every single racist Indian accomplice to PhoenixMassacre is arrested and imprisoned for life too

ANC loots and destroys. ANC hands around the begging bowl. CyrilRamaphosa

KZN is gone 💔

The UN will regret doing this. Why not the business council? Unfortunately it has already disappeared

DJKingSelepe So what about Gauteng? Phela even in GP there was unrest….perhaps the plan all along was to get rid of Zulu monarch then takeover. Someone in the MYANC is the instigator of the unrest n made it seem it was about PresJGZuma DZumaSambudla

DJKingSelepe UN is working hard in KZN neh?🤣🤣🤣 The plan is working

Who will get it? That’s the big question.

UN unwomenSA pls donate it to ngos who use it for intended purposes. HopeSAorg has been consistently providing support to KZN since 18 July.

Lol! It's not only the SOEs being sold! Gents nna I need to negotiate my own price

They should be putting in a lot more, at least half of the insurance costs as they're.the ones who created the evil system of lockdowns

Sharks are already circling

real_Ntando All that money is going to ANC leaders.

It's already sorted.

and the name of the pose?

Why ningasiniki umuntu nomuntu azibekele okwakhe

Nxa lelixoki

But will the money go to the white business that was burnt by the black looters? I wonder how much the MYANC will take

Somebody please give them banking details of Gift of the Givers

Amaqabane kaTambo on some...

sziks what's the catch la Mnumzane ?

And who do you think will receive the R20 mil.?

It's probably stolen already and they haven't received it yet...

UN please🙏 transfer directly to the recipients accounts. cANCer will loot it all n ask for more 🤬🤬🤬

Ngeke beyinuke iNgonyama Trust Land

Don’t do it , the thief’s will steal it!

Sold to the highest bidder. Fucking politicians are a liability. The UN uses the same tactics in looting resources all over the world and trust this is just another on a long list.

There goes more looting.....🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Comrades

Nothing for mahala

Uh oh - Here we go again, get ready for some corruption

That’s about $1.3m from the UN

There is no greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about her LindaStouffes she's for transparency and trust 💯

THe UN surely knows the comrades will simply make their 20 million miraculously change into Gucci handbags and expensive suits right?

There's a catch🤞🏾 when has UN ever assisted with money any unrest in Africa🤔 the same UN watched the Rwandian genocide whilst already based in country🤷🏾‍♀️ where is that same pledge for Mozambique crisis🤔🤔

Luxury car dealership are rubbing their hands, the cadres will be shopping very soon!

Nkanyiso_ngqulu Sadla thina maqabane kaTambo ✊🏿😊

🤣🤣🤣

It will disappear as fast as Squirrels R500bn bribe disappeared.

It will be stolen .... NO DOUBT AT ALL 🙄

We're fucked, NEW WORLD ORDER is already here

So, they can pledge R20m for the damages caused by the unrest in KZN but they never pledged anything for the effect of apartheid to native South Africa. Slavery was never abolished it was re-designed.

Hope the politicians don't steal it.

Stolen

Noooooooo

R20m? PhoenixMassacre racism genocide Hmmmm... Cost of 'BLACK' Life..

UN Please don’t give money to the South African government. Your intentions may be good, but the money will simply be stolen.

Goodbye KZN. There are no bailouts with the UN

What a joke ! Cadres will eat this up.

First they secretly brought UN soldiers now this pledge...

Big mistake.

Alleged diamonds are discovered in KZN, and UN comes through and commit but don't give R20m? Something is fishy. Who sent the UN, India?

His selling what’s left of our country

R20m? I thought we lost billions. How is this going to help and WHO is it going to help?

R20m is nothing we need a permanent solution in this crises Unequality,Racisem,Monopolised Economy,Exclusion of Black people in the means of production not what you are telling us.

Weren't they only around for 3 days?

Another eating

UN - Please do not give it to SAgovnews. Politicians WILL steal it. Give it to GiftoftheGivers who has a strong reputation in ACTUALLY assisting those in need.

What is kzn going to give un

In exchange for ini?

Jesus💔💔💔💔💔

JuliRee_Mts PhoenixMassacre

But it's not enough to pay ANC's R80m debt

Rupert and ANC will take that money

Half a billion was spent in less than three months. Just saying...

20 million?The cadres can go through that in an afternoon,they spent 234 million on useless chinese medicine from cuba,400 million on Cuban doctors,430 million'santising schools,offices,& documents'115 million on a cartoon character telling us to vaccinate,🤣 the list goes on

Will be chewed, swallowed and digested by MYANC cadres...The people of KZN will be lucky to receive the faeces once they're done deficating

It will be gone b4 it even arrives. The cadres are plotting.

Pledging isn't an actual donation 👀🤔

Mara why?💔

By the way they don't have money to pay salaries, the party is finished

Anc is gonna share it among themselves

Why don’t find the instigators!!!

Now it is time for those who were wrongfully arrested(if there's any) to sue the state, there is money now

What's the catch

I wonder what sziks just sold la

Kanti where is the RET & FreeJacobZuma movement money to fix the damage?

We NhlakesR0s3 please get me a Stand by the hood 😭😭😭😭😭

What are they saying about the Indians that killed blacks in Phoenix?
