This follows violent looting and rioting in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng
President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation on Monday night following violent scenes in provinces across the country, acting minister in the presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has confirmed.
The widespread protests‚ which have degenerated into the looting and torching of shops and trucks‚ has attracted the attention of the cabinet. The address on Monday night comes a day after Ramaphosa announced the country would remain on adjusted lockdown level 4. “Property has been destroyed. Cars have been stoned. People have been intimidated and threatened‚ and some have even been hurt. These acts are endangering lives and damaging our efforts to rebuild the economy.
Ramaphosa said he was particularly worried that some of the violence was “based on ethnic mobilisation”.
