“I have authorized the deployment of the SANDF,” Ramaphosa said.
NatJoints has intensified deployment in areas affected in Gauteng and KZN.
Ramaphosa is updating the nation on the government’s response to the riots and looting in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.
Ramaphosa has warned South Africans that the ongoing protests in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal were vastly affecting the country’s vaccine programme.
Ramaphosa said the prosecution of those involved in violence will be prioritized: “We will take action to protect every person in this country against violence and threats…”
Ramaphosa said that the acting minister of health told him that they had to halt vaccinations in parts of the country. Ramaphosa said this was unacceptable.
