President Cyril Ramaphosa on Saturday called for calm in KwaZulu-Natal and urged communities to desist from undermining the rule of law and inflicting damage on the economy.

Johannesburg - President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on communities in KwaZulu-Natal to desist from undermining the rule of law and inflicting damage on the economy.

Ramaphosa’s call comes after sporadic violence and destruction ravaged a number of areas province-wide by protesters who are calling for the release of former president Jacob Zuma from the Estcourt Correctional Centre where he is serving his 15-month sentence.Millions or rands worth of infrastructure and trucks have been torched by the #KZNShutDown protesters.

“The impact of public violence against the road freight industry and damage to freeways that serve as economic arteries will be felt also by the people organising and committing these crimes. The reasons allegedly advanced for the violence in KwaZulu-Natal cannot be used to legitimise vandalism and public violence,” Ramaphosa said.

Whose economy?

Have you asked him which economy he's referring to? Cos thina as blacks have none!!! We are locked in our houses without jobs!! You media are really not doing what you suppose to be doing!!! That is asking critical questions but here to place useless headlines!!!

Amasimba lawo

They wont listen

mthombothi Yes, but did he ask pretty please?

Mxm! That one!

Politics of convenience is what is going to break this country. What is so difficult about putting those hotspot areas in KZN under state of emergency and send in soldiers with tanks and canons to squash any lazy parasite trying to surface. What is happening there is treasonous.

So, number one has awakened from his slumber. Let's hope we can have engagement with the aggrieved protestors. We plead with government to respond to people on the ground. They have issues that need to be addressed. Nobody is in favour of burning.

Release Zuma

U mean that Stellenbosch rule of law?.. Sorry we have no business with that mafia judiciary rule. Ayiyeeee! 😭

These are not protestors . These are thieving thugs . Firm and final action required

Or what🤷🏾‍♂️

Economy kaRuperts

Akangaveli lutwitter akaye la konakele khona ekhuze phela njengobaba wethu, ubaba onjani osaba ingane zakhe ngeke smenze lutho.

We are not undermining LAW but we are fighting for our Rights. No pain no learning FreeJacobZuma that's all we need.

He undermined citizens by bribing Judges to assist him in his political battles, SAShutdown KZNshutdown RamaphosaMustFall

C Ramaphosa is Fighting the Real and most Dangerous Enemy Covid 19 Pandemic We have Government Officials that are Paid to do the Required Tasks which they Swore to Uphold CR Ramaphosa is Not a Police Officer or Army Officer or a Supply Chain Manager or a Premier or a Mayor or a

Yeah , they really going to listen to CR

He must come and adress us here

Someone tell him to tell his prepaid justices to abide fully by the rule of law so we don't see reactions from the aggrieved Tell him to shift his focus to real instigators of trouble, justices, and not those aggrieved and reacting to injustices It's about time he prioritises

We call on Cyril Ramaphosa to stop exciting abuse of law and procedures of implementing of Law. He must call for a respect of the Constitution by the Judges, or they risk being invited into a POLITICAL arena. He must take action against the Constitution vandalism by Judges

mthombothi That’ll do it. Well done Cyril!

They must release Mr Zuma at tell us about that rull of law

This Ramaphosa is out of touch with reality and people he must think twice if he think he will bring back apartheid through back door. He suppress people's views

Are you facing challenges & hardships? Begin to confess your way out. Say, 'Jesus Christ is my way out there4 my heart is not troubled, the lord will fight for me &I will hold my peace' Exodus 14:14.. The lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Follow me, i follow🔙

Please would you possibly mind not torching other peoples property. Pretty please. The police will escort you home and tuck you into bed. Much appreciated. Thank you so much. Dankie. Ngibonga.

Pass my regards to Zuma

Arrest these thugs that are committing these acts of violence !!! And where is the so called Zulu king in all of this?

Tsek.. with your rule of law...hambani niyofa

Economy? What about fair justice?

He must compensate this business people for their loss.
