3/6 đź”´ Klaus Schwab bragging about how they have infiltrated the cabinets of many countries.
In the High Court in Joburg today for the challenge President #CyrilRamaphosa has brought to the private proseuction former president #JacobZuma has brought against him. The former president has just arrived at court. BW
Proceedings have kicked off, with advocate Ngwako Maentje SC - for the President - addressing the court. He’s currently addressing Zuma’s argument that Ramaphosa doesn’t have standing to bring the application in his capacity as President, as opposed to his personal capacity.
This argument is linked to Zuma’s argument that the State Attorney doesn’t have the requisite authority to represent Ramaphosa in these proceedings. #ZumaVsRamaphosa
President #CyrilRamaphosa has reacted to the hostile reception he received at the national May Day rally, organised by Cosatu in Rustenburg, saying he understands the workers' frustration. RM
#CyrilRamaphosa Angry Sibanye-Stillwater workers disrupted the proceedings and refused to allow the president to speak.
The workers are demanding a R1 000 increase, but the employer is only willing to offer R850. RM

#CyrilRamaphosa In his weekly newsletter, President Ramaphosa said government is committed to take the necessary action to improve the workers' lives and their working conditions.
But he adds that this is not something that government can do on its own. RM

1. #CyrilRamaphosa:
1. SA = deeply disappointed in countries who have implemented travel bans @ SA. We urgently + immediately call on them 2 reverse the bans
2. There is no scientific justification 4 such bans. All they do is damage the economies of southern Africa

#COVID19 travel ban decisions don't respect the recent G20 declaration in which there is a commitment to help the tourism sectors of all countries to recover. Travel bans do exactly the opposite + are in contravention of the declaration.

[Thread] 1. @aspenpharma is releasing 1.49 million #JnJ doses from its Gqeberha plant for use in SA today (Jul 26) — all these doses will be distributed to #VaccineRollOutSA sites. But when will they actually reach the sites?
2. Stravos Nicolaou from Aspen says this morning Aspen started to pack the 1.49 million #JnJ doses in special refrigerator containers which are temperature controlled. This is a delicate process and takes a while.
3. The pallets of #JnJ jabs will today be loaded into trucks and handed over to JnJ. Tomorrow, the jabs will be flown to OR Tambo airport, from where the vaccines will be transported to a warehouse in Midrand.
[Thread] 1. #CyrilRamaphosa: #ShutdownSouthAfrica is nothing less than a deliberate and well-planned attack on SA's democracy. It is in direct contravention of the Constitution of SA and intended to cripple the economy and cause social instability.
#ProtectSouthAfrica
#ProtectSouthAfrica
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: Using the pretext of political grievance, instigators sought to exploit conditions of poverty and unemployment and provoked ordinary citizens and criminal networks to engage in looting.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: There were targeted attacks on trucks, warehouses and other infrastructure necessary to main our economy. Through social media they sought to inflame racial tensions and violence.
[Thread] 1. #CyrilRamaphosa: Violence is continuing in many parts of KZN + Gauteng. It may be spilling over to other provinces. Some have characterised this as a form of political protest. #SouthAfricaShutDown
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: This violence might indeed have its routes in political matters. Some people advocate for violence + disorder along ethnic lines. But what we are witnessing now are opportunistic acts of criminality - a cover for looting and theft. #SouthAfricaShutDown
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: No political cause can justify the violence and destruction SA is currently seeing. #SouthAfricaShutDown
[Thread] 1. #CyrilRamaphosa: The AU has reached an agreement that will improve the supply of vaccines in Africa and SA. Aspen in Gqeberha will deliver of 17 mil #JnJ vaccine doses (fill and finish) over the next three months starting in July.
2. This number of vaccines produced (filled and finished) by Aspen, will double monthly from October. Initial stock will be released in SA and other African countries from July.
3. #JnJ is committed to adjust the current arrangement so that we can produce JnJ under license in SA rather than under contract. That means we will have more control over the allocation/distribution of vaccines.
[Thread] #CyrilRamaphosa: Along with other African countries SA has seen a massive resurgence of #COVID infections. The African CDC says a massive 3rd wave is developing across the continent. The Delta variant has now been detected in 5 provinces.

2. #CyrilRamaphosa: The Delta variant is rapidly replacing the Beta variant in SA. It has been detected in: Free State, Gauteng, KZN, Eastern Cape and Western Cape.
The variant is twice as transmissible as the original form of the virus. So it infects far more people faster.
The variant is twice as transmissible as the original form of the virus. So it infects far more people faster.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa : There is emerging evidence that people who have been infected with the Beta variant are not protected against infection by the Delta variant. So they can get reinfected.

President #CryilRamaphosa: The #COVID19 #Delta variant, found in 85 countries around the world, is now been found in 5 of our provinces. These are
-Gauteng
-Eastern Cape
-Free State
-KZN

1. [Thread] #CyrilRamaphosa on #VaccineRolloutSA: #JnJ will deliver 2 million jabs to SA by the end of June (so the 2 million doses we can’t use will all be replaced by the end of the month). Read our @Bhekisisa_MG story about this. bit.ly/3cFxdgo
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: Our first 300 000 #JnJ doses will be used to vaccinate teachers and school staff. Thereafter the next essential workers group that will be prioritised will be security personnel on the frontline. BUT: Our immediate task is to vaccinate people of 60+.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa : SA has the capacity to vaccinate 150 000 people/day (we’re currently doing 80 000 because of a lack of jabs - until our #JnJ jabs arrive).
[Thread] 1. #CyrilRamaphosa: Restrictions are effective in bringing down #COVID infections. But although we have reason to hope, we still have a mountain to climb.
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: A third wave of infections are upon us. Since my last family meeting (2 weeks ago), the average nr of new infections has doubled from 3 700 daily infections to over 7500. Deaths have increased by 48% from 535 to 791 in the past 7 days.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: Gauteng is particularly bad. The increase in #COVID infections in Gauteng is now worse than they were in previous waves at the same stage of the wave.
[Thread] 1. BREAKING: Both President #CyrilRamaphosa and acting health minister Mamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane have confirmed that the FDA found SA's 2 million #JnJ jabs at Aspen in Gqeberha unsuitable for use. They can therefore not be released.
2. Mamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane (sent to me 17:45):
"I can confirm that 2 mil doses at Gqeberha have been affected + will not be used. Only 1 batch was regarded contaminated from USA + the other 1 was not but because they were stored together, it’s difficult to isolate one batch."
"I can confirm that 2 mil doses at Gqeberha have been affected + will not be used. Only 1 batch was regarded contaminated from USA + the other 1 was not but because they were stored together, it’s difficult to isolate one batch."
3. #CyrilRamaphosa at the G7 summit this afternoon: “I’m told they [Aspen] have to dispose of those they have already manufactured. They are going to start all over again with another batch.

[Thread] 1.#CyrilRamaphosa: The nr of infections has begun to rise. We now have an average of 3745 daily new #COVID19 infections. This in an increase of 31% vs the previous week and 66% of week before that.
2. #CyrilRamaphosa: The proportion of #COVID19 tests that come out positive has doubled over the past month from 4% to 11%. A positivity rate of over 5% is a cause for concern. The Free State, Northern Cape and Gauteng have reached that threshold. They are in a third wave.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: It is only matter of time before the entire country reaches a third wave. The increasing nr of social gatherings where people are not wearing masks or social distance or gather in large groups have contributed to this.
[Thread] 1.#CyrilRamaphosa: In SA we are not yet ready to return to normal life because of #COVID19. For the 2nd year we will have to limited our interactions during the Easter period. Over the last year we have recorded more than 1.5 million cases.

2. #CyrilRamaphosa: For the past 2 weeks, our cases stayed stable and hospitalisations and deaths have declined. This is because South Africans have largely abided by the restrictions put in place.
3. #CyrilRamaphosa: Phase 1 of our vaccination programme for health workers will be completed within 3 months (it started on Feb 17).
[Thread] 1. SA is rolling out its first #CovidVaccines in the form of an implementation study for health workers. That means only workers participating in the study are allowed to get vaccinated. So how come #CyrilRamaphosa could get a shot? bit.ly/3qvrvCC
2. Changes to study protocols can be made if there are good reasons. Protocols are "rule books” that stipulate how a study will be conducted. They explain who can take part and what will be tested. SA's roll-out study will look at real-life implementation of the J&J jab.
3. In the case of the J&J jab, our regulator, @SAHPRA1, adjusted the study’s protocol to:
* Include government officials with health qualifications
* Include #Ramaphosa + #Mabuza
The reason? To “encourage vaccine uptake and reduce vaccine hesitancy”. bit.ly/37p7ohW

[Thread] 1. Two thirds of South Africans say they'll take a #CovidVaccine, according to the @HSRCza + @go2uj's #COVID19 Democracy survey. Question asked: “If a Covid-19 vaccine became available to you, would you take it?” 67% = yes, 14% probably, 12% = no. bit.ly/3iJpn7p
2. Trust in the government's #COVID19 response influenced whether someone was willing to take a #CovidVaccine. Only 36% of those saying #CyrilRamaphosa was doing a bad job were willing to take a jab vs. 73% of those stating he was doing a good job: bit.ly/3iJpn7p
3. The results speak to the significance of leadership in shaping attitudes around #CovidVaccines. One response: “Yes I will [get the jab] as long as I get it from the trusted people who work under government, and be 100% sure that it’s a real vaccine.” bit.ly/3iJpn7p
