Ramaphosa says it is a feature of daily life in the country, with black people bearing the brunt. I cannot speak on the matter. In a firm call to action, President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for the eradication of white superiority and for Stellenbosch University to act against racism in his weekly newsletter to South Africa.

He's likened them to the youth activists of the 1976 Soweto Uprising. Ramaphosa wrote, "like the youth of 1976, a new generation of young South Africans is ...

They are challenging society to grapple with racism, its causes and its effects." "As Ms Khumalo rightly said, it is not black people who are the problem and need attention, but those people who still hold on to ideas of white superiority." Ramaphosa wrote, "like the youth of 1976, a new generation of young South Africans is stepping forward to proclaim their birth right and reclaim their future.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the recent racist incident at a Stellenbosch University residence must be used to confront racial inequality which continues ...

It cannot be that black South Africans have to continue to prove themselves worthy of dignity and respect.” As Ms Khumalo rightly said, it is not black people who are the problem and need attention, but those people who still hold on to ideas of white superiority. Rather, we must use this incident to confront the issue of race and racial inequality in our society.”

The President commended student activist Kwenzokuhle Khumalo for fearlessly calling out white supremacy and privilege.

As the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement has so strongly asserted, we need to systematically dismantle and eradicate attitudes of white superiority,” he added. “It is more troubling that such incidents are happening at schools and places of higher learning. “It cannot be that the onus must rest with the formerly oppressed as the main victims of racism to advance reconciliation,” said Ramaphosa.

Rather, we must use this incident to confront the issue of race and racial inequality in our society. They must roundly reject what has happened and express their determination to achieve a learning environment free of bigotry, racism and chauvinism and embrace a non-racial future for Stellenbosch University. By so doing they will set the standard for us all. If we are going to cross these bridges, we need to understand what is causing racist attitudes to flourish in our schools and places of higher learning.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has lamented the prevalence of racism in the country, 28 years into democracy.

“If we are going to cross these bridges, we need to understand what is causing racist attitudes to flourish in our schools and places of higher learning. “Greater emphasis should be placed on inculcating tolerance and respect for diversity in the classroom from a young age. Just as racists must be held accountable for their actions, all sectors of society, including business, must advance transformation.

Woman president? Like Dlamini-Zuma, Lindiwe Sisulu must wrestle with patriarchy seeking to capture her for the benefit of its factions.

This limits their ability to offer real change to a society made up of women in the majority. In her open letter, Sisulu sought to present herself as she saw herself, a politician committed to radical change in the direction of the country, tackling well-known stubborn challenges facing South Africa. She shared her thoughts and sought to demonstrate her independent thinking as a person. This is a society where many women CEOs live with the burden to prove to society that they deserved those appointments. Like NDZ, she may decide not to really fight these tendencies in a spirited and gallant way, hoping that her record and message will somehow filter through this maze of patriarchal contests. She must also wrestle with the other faction that wants to project her as nothing but part of the Zuma past. Pundits concluded that she is becoming a presidential candidate of a faction called the RET forces, named after the ANC resolution to pursue radical economic transformation.

So, were are prepared to camp here until he comes to assist us.” We will sleep here until our demands are met.” I do not want to go into details but we will survive.”

President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Raymond Zondo as chief justice, even though the Judicial Service Commission recommended Judge Mandisa Maya for the ...

"The Constitution does not give primacy to any of those entities and persons that I am enjoined to consult. He or she also heads the Constitutional Court, our apex court," Ramaphosa said. Section 165 indicates that the chief justice is the head of the judiciary and exercises responsibility over the establishment and monitoring of norms and standards for the exercise of the judicial functions of all courts.

Yet Olaf Scholz will also invite President Cyril Ramaphosa to attend the G7 summit which he will host in Berlin in July — a sign that their differences on ...

“We are on a quest to build a coalition of countries who are democratic and who believe in the rule of law and who want a stable international order. In Senegal on Sunday, Scholz said Berlin would actively work to restart grain exports to Africa from Ukraine, which have been halted by the war. “It is therefore not surprising that Senegal and South Africa, two democratically oriented states, were selected for the trip in order to deepen common perspectives. Schmidt nevertheless noted that Scholz would invite Ramaphosa to this year’s G7 summit of the world’s major Western economies. So I find we are natural allies in this and I would encourage everybody not to fall back into the patterns of the 20th century and speak of non-aligned. Nevertheless, Scholz would listen to Ramaphosa and try to understand where South Africa’s stance on the war was coming from, he said.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has told his German counterpart Chancellor Olaf Scholz that vaccines manufactured locally are not being purchased.

Ramaphosa said “Germany has rendered extensive support to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. “Ours is a true partnership. “This is a matter of great concern to us. Ramaphosa said the visit comes at a time when SA is rebuilding after the deadly floods in KwaZulu-Natal last month and the Covid-19 pandemic. He was addressing cabinet ministers from both countries and advisers of the two presidents in the cabinet room at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tuesday. Scholz, who brought a business delegation to the country, is on a one-day official visit to SA. Commending the European country for “the partnership you have demonstrated, particularly in enabling us to produce Covid-19 vaccines”, Ramaphosa said “however, these efforts have suffered a setback”.

Another area SA would like to expand is that of education and skills development.” He said he was looking forward to discussing how SA can work with Germany to reindustrialise the country, advance infrastructure development and job creation. “This is a matter of great concern to us.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa holds talks with Olaf Scholz following the German Chancellor's visit to Senegal and Niger.

Scholz's visit comes as the war in Ukraine has been raging for three months and is causing oil and food prices to rise around the world, including in Africa. Speaking to media in Pretoria, ahead of their private meeting on Tuesday, the two leaders said they would also consider developments on the African continent. South Africa's neutral stance on Russia's war in Ukraine will be a major topic of conversation during a meeting between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says his government wants to adopt aspects of Germany's education and training system and apply them in South Africa.

“The resultant skills gap is also a significant contributor to inequality and undermines efforts to end the inter-generational cycle of poverty. We have initiated several programmes to link training to workplace experience and employment.” “Another area of our relationship we would like to expand is that of education and skills training.

The war in Ukraine appears to have been at the top of the agenda during President Cyril Ramaphosa and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's meeting on Tuesday,

We have decided to stop the import of coal in Europe and Germany in autumn this year.” We decided to impose sanctions against Russia to convince them to stop the war. They are also going to suffer from the sanctions imposed on Russia.” He said: “It is this position I believe should be the order of the day. It is for that reason we say we would like this conflict to end and one of the best ways is calling for the cessation of hostilities, and that should be achieved through negotiation. We have been fairly consistent on that because we know very well the value of dialogue, negotiation and collaboration as in many ways it gave birth to our own democracy.”
