President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke about the violence in his address to the nation on Sunday. File photo.Opinions are divided over the cabinet's decision to deploy the SA National Defence Force to restore order, as protests and looting grip the country. broke out in Gauteng at the weekend after days of protests in KwaZulu-Natal linked to the incarceration of former president Jacob Zuma.
“The deployment will commence as soon as all deployment processes are `in place,” it said, adding that the “duration and number of deploying soldiers will be determined based on the assessment of the situation on the ground by the relevant law enforcement agencies”.On Sunday, NatJoints spokesperson Col Brenda Muridili said the police had arrested 62 suspects in the two provinces, including 18 suspects in Alexandra.
It is indeed a lame excuse to say that people are looting because they are hungry, why can they go and do that at the government offices, why should normal business owners who are citizens suffer
It's the way out, this will help to save the economy of the country
SAPS SANDF are faced with the same issue as the protesters on the streets...they have had no salary increase...they stay in the same areas as protester.They have nothing to gain by shooting and killing their own.The also want land and economic inclusion. ShutdownSA
Yes, I do. This government has long been lenient to deal with criminal elements who steal from the vulnerable and mislead them to defend the same elements.
Well the police is looting with them.. so who do you call
What kind of President does this country have. I have no words left. CR you need to go.
It's actually long overdue
Yes to restore order and shoot at least 100 to 200 criminals.
Why dd he take so long
Yes. Should have happened after R100m loss to burning of trucks.
No
Ramaphosa phuma uyokhuluma nabantu labantu obakhiphayo bazokwenza isimo sibe worse kuyimanje more unemployment izoba khona including iyinkampani oyithengisile(transnet port)sakukhetha lungisa ngendlela eryt, uzwe iyikhalo ungabaleki,umholi akabaleki.
100% agreed. It's about time for the SANDF to come and restore law and order. Those who don't agree can go fly a kite.
That's a stupid question
Yes absolutely
Where are they? Or have they gone straight to ensure the safety of kfc and chickenlicken franchises where they'll station themselves! Unfortunately in this era of blackexcellence we need police to monitor the police and the SANDF to make sure they not assisting the criminals
Took long enough, so what do we wait for R100's millions of damage before waking up that the SANDF might help as long as the criminal looters don't seal the SANDF's weapons.....
So much for Madiba's Rainbow Nation. The centre is not holding, because ANC cowards are in factional battles instead of restoring the dignity of Africans post Colonialism.
No, I don't.
Mixed feelings because the army is so useless. But probably no alternative
This is the sign ANC have fallen politically. Of there is no political leaders trusted by citizens
They used to kill black poor ppl
Too late!!!
No, we have seen the devastating effects of deploying the military when a civilian was killed in his home with his family during the last festive season. They are trained to use maximum force and they will only escalate the sporadic violence already taking place!!
CyrilRamaphosa thank you for all you do.big respect for you
Yes am fully agree
For what, civilians 😷🙄🤔

Put the poll here. Do you agree with SANDF deployment?
People want jobs and food not the deployment of army
