The death toll from the unrest in South Africa has risen to 212. A total of 1,692 people were arrested in connection with looting and violence.
Ramaphosa's address follows his visit to KwaMashu in Durban on Friday morning to asses the damage caused by violence and looting in the area. His visit was the first time the president was on the ground after days of looting left key retail centres, harbours, warehouses, industrial parks and businesses in ruins.
"It is quite clear that all these incidents of unrest and looting were instigated; there were people who planned it and co-ordinated it,” he said. He did not name the instigators.
The reality is that CR and his ANC could have prevented this tragedy. In one week the unemployment numbers have escalated in Natal. We know what the end result is going to be. God help us. Most people are leaving Ntl. The economy will/is suffering.
