President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged South Africans to refrain from being destructive during protests.

CAPE TOWN -

The president was addressing the South African Human Rights Commission's National Conference on local governance earlier on Thursday, where effective service delivery and basic human rights were some of the issues discussed. Referring to the violent illegal strike by some Amathole District Municipal staff recently, Ramaphosa stressed that there was no need for the violent nature of such protests.

“[As] much as people have grievances, there is just no one who has the right to resort to arson, to looting, to violence and to damage property when they are expressing their dissatisfaction with whatever may be a problem to them,” he said. In many respects, local government is one of the most important custodians of the socio-economic rights of the South African people.https://t.co/e60VrRmq4X

It's like telling people to cry with out tears. A law should be whatever is destroyed is paid by demonstrators arrested

So when has his urging ever stopped destructive protests...? Like in never....

nobody listens to you anymore CR, not your own party, and certainly nobody else. you're lost your relevance.

Oh come on CyrilRamaphosa. Just call a spade a spade and say: dear fellow black people; do not burn shit! Stop fucking around and be a leader...

He must add to that. That if you destroy there's no money to build again.

Phala Phala questions are not answered

That, thing, is very regressive. Even Faithfuls break TVs Cars after finding out that they have deputies...mara why.

CyrilRamaphosa phala phala I agree no protests it's gonna make South Africans look bad.

And as citizens, we have been advised by our legal people to not listen to anything he urges us not to do, and we will only comply after our legal council advised us further on this matter. Again, he's the last person to tell us what to do.

Should have said that will have another Phoenix and Marikana situation if we domt listen to him.

“These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
