At least 12 people were killed in the past few weeks and foreign-owned businesses were looted.
Speaking at Grace Bible Church, in Soweto, on Sunday morning Ramaphosa said the envoys will again offer an apology on behalf of South Africa: “Our image, our standing, has been dented. I’ve taken steps to send envoys around various parts of the continent.“I am sending other envoys to the AU and various countries to go and explain to them what has happened and to offer our apologies. For those who have been killed, our condolences, and for those injured as well.
SouthAfrica's policing fuels Xenophobia. Focus on police reforms, new police leadership & a new approach perhaps. Police just watch. Newzroom405 SAgovnews SANewsStories ReutersAfrica CyrilRamaphosa channelafrica1 SAfmnews ewnupdates ParliamentofRSA GenBheki_Cele
'Thuma mina' wenu.. Nimthumile nangok
The inconsistency will cost the ANC big time.
For what mara
How much u will give them?
Marikana
Apologise for what? Those countries must tsje responsibility for the fact that some of their citizens are out in other countries committing crime, staying without proper documentation.
Did he apologise to those south africans who lost their lives through the hands of those foreign nationals or is he telling us we are not worth his time? Sithule sabula for a long time, its time to act. Siyanyelwa nje la
This is what happens when you give rich people higher positions, they read newspapers and don't listen to people whom elected them into such positions. If this president had at least once hit the streets in Yeoville, Hillbrow, Durban Point, Cape, he would've understood our plight
Apologize for what exactly? Which of the foreign countries that has apologized for killing our youth with their drug and human trafficking? South Africa is so quick to apologize and forgive, no wonder the country is in such a state. Everyone is walking all over us mfcim
I don't apologise for the actions of my brothers who are taking back their country, taking back the safety of their streets, taking steps to clean their cities. CyrilRamaphosa is a white lackey, he needs a western surname and move to Stellenbosch. Asixolisi. Tsek futhi
Kmele bashawe ngempelake ke manje.
Those Special team of envoys must go to all 9 provinces and apologise to us South Africans
I_Am_Lebohang_ Mnqundu kaCyril yaz . Lotata ngumnqundu nyhani
apology is needed in order to woo investors back in country,remember we fought amongst each other bcz of a limited resources
Did Nigeria apologize for the xenophobic attack to more than 2million Africans in 1983. Deportation is what Nigerians did that year. Ghana will always remember the blue and red big bags. Remember?
🙄
It is no clear where his loyalties lie.
Lol Malema spotted in very quickly that this one is just a dreamer
Yho just a waist of our taxes...... Can we get another president this one is expired.... Someone wanted power but now is clueless what to do with it
Who said we want to apologise?
Who Will pay flying cost
Did he apologise for Marikana?
All time Msunery. Infact this is Classic Msunery.
He got a real scare in Zimbabwe.
So Dirco has no diplomats worth this apology mission. These people have the money only they will not give it to us the poor.
First can you apologize to South Africans for allowing crime to escalate at the levels we see now and to all the families of the women and children who was raped and murdered. Then apologize to the foreigners.
I guess most of South Africans haven't seen the importance of other countries in their life , l guess Mr president is right because sanctions will be in South Africa so his doing this in order to protect South Africans
We dont care and we are not sorry plus we not done so soon😈
Who is going to apologise to South Africans about those who committed offence against them,about the law enforcement agencies been too lenient and lazy to do the same jobs they've been appointed to do? We are badly labelled,wrongled by our African Brothers
What apology? South Africa owes nobody an apology the ANC owes the continent an apology it is the ANC that enjoyed the 'EXILE HOSPITALITY 'not the country
That means that special team will be only paid for apologizing coz until they uproot the cause, this explosion will continue.
He has the audocity to apologise to those people while people from Hammanskraal are drinking dirty water and no apology, hospitals still lack medication and healthy facilities, clinics are not accomodating everyone because of the venue is too small. Who are tgey representing.
This apology is extremely problematic considering none of fellow African countries have taken responsibility for actions of their wayward citizens who're based here. I was expecting them to meet us halfway. We're sugarcoating issues instead of solving them.
Mr President dnt send people to apologize to Africa..just opened the borders so that they can come freely with drugs..their magiction wth false prophet so that all of Yu policians benefits from them by killing our nation simple ...
10 South Africans died during the attacks who killed them have you ever care to know and apologise to the nation for failing us as a result?Who sent you to apologies on behalf of the nation.
Sies?
This man is a huge dissapointment.
I'm sitting at the majakathatha taxi rank right now and for the past 30min 12 nyaope boys have come to the Nigerian at the lunch bar coner to flipin damn president voetsek
Chicken ....apologies for what exactly South Africa grand grand mele kube I playground ne I think we ll need to substitute you 5 years ll feel like 20 years la kuwe
Is going to start again and he will keep on apologizing to the continent, what is he doing to south Africa's, nothing. Bring back the country to our people, don't support people who are destroying our country by selling drugs
Ai voetsek maan
This solves nothing. The REAL problem is not resolved, chances are it will happen soon it’s just subsided. SOLVE the issue of police failing to arrest Drug dealers and other unlawful activities. This president love trips 🙄🙄🙄
The best thing he can do, he must step down.
Yerr useless lomuntu yaz!! Apologize for in? Wee baba sicrowded lana!
Expecting a resignation letter from president...
Before that he must get people to go around and check that all foreigners who are here in SA have the right papers to be here
Who did he send to Katlehong, PTA, Tembisa to apologize to the people who put him in that seat for letting them down. And find out the root cause of the issue we SA citizens are facing. ANC must go campaign in Africa next elections as they put them ahead of their own
Now I don't regret not voting for you Mr President. You really don't have any idea what this foreigners are doing to our communities.most children's are junkies right now,they left schools.
What about the people who don't have jobs in SA because companies hire foreign nationals because they accepts low wages and poor working environment. If people of SA had jobs there was neva going to be the violence in the 1st place. SA child is suffering. SA first then Africa
As long as he's not gonna ask them to come back coz this stupid thing that south africa belongs to everyone it's KAK!!!
Our President did well in Zimbabwe where he conveyed the apology on behalf of South Africans.
While at it must make sure he takes our issues seriously this time around otherwise this will be for nothing
Why don't you begin by apologizing for being an absent President. Apologize for saying that's it's the people's fault that the municipality from which the Taxi driver that lost his life is not if the ANC. Will they apologise for the lives lost? BringBackZuma
We really need a female president noe this one we have is a selfish bu man😏
This guy makes me angry, fuck!!!
Illegal immigrants must still go am not apologizing
When will we see the special envoys and their fancy apologies for: Life Esidimeni Marikana AIDS Denialism Violence against Women and Children State Capture The failures at ESKOM, SAA, PRASA, SABC. ? PresidencyZA
This can not be happening really apologies for what?
CyrilRamaphosa are you maybe going to get a special team to help solve all the murders of the women and children in South Africa?
He supposed to takes -100 of foreigner. Leads by example MR President. Ubafake kwakho ikakhulu laba bangenandawo
Tormentn Rather ask their leaders as a sign of sincere apology to send all of their citizens down south it’s a free for all, besides they can’t seem to keep them in their countries
Will they also apologize for killing the taxi driver?
Tormentn This one must stop this nonsense, and accept that not everyone will like you, especially with kids like southafricans
This is utter rubbish - He is making us look weak in the whole continent; sell out. I pray that a real Xenophobia doesn't start while the convoy is enroute.
GA a serious daeman..
You cant silently wait out a crime to happen until lives are lost and only jus want to apologise. There was murder happening, both SAn & “foreigners” lost their lives. Its waaay too late. Use your tax money to clean the aftermath!
This special team of envoys will probably costs your country. Cant you just send a written apology via embassies and spend the money on something worthy. It is not neccessary.
Yey iyacika lendoda 10 SAns we killed wht is apologizing for
Okay and then what’s next after the apologies Mr President?
We don't accept apologies from murderers
How much is that nonsense going to cost us tax payers? And when done apologising, it happens again!....SMH
