[ON AIR] Briefing debate: Do protests work? Professor @william_gumede, Associate Professor @Wits_WSG and @Omhle_in_Africa - Project Coordinator @ProtestZa on #TheNationalBriefing #sabcnews

[CIVICUS @CIVICUSalliance]

CIVICUS calls on protecting journalists and preventing violence during ongoing #protests.

#PressFreedom and protest rights are protected by law in South Africa.

However, harassment and attacks against people, including journalists, is unacceptable.

Protest leader in Soweto says foreigners will not be allowed to own tuck-shops in their neighbourhood and landlords are forbidden from renting out their properties to foreigners - legal or illegal

@RSA_IPID what warrants a protestor being inside a @SAPoliceService vehicle?

Ngizwe Mchunu is leading a march in Johannesburg, South Africa.

[marang setshwaelo @marangdream]

This is the root of the issue. Uncaring leadership who’ve driven their economies into the ground. Citizens flee to greener pastures in droves, out of sheer desperation-the leaders visit on weekend shopping sprees, while their people suffer.
The AU seemingly blind to this crisis.

[Nolwazi Tusini @NolwAzi_Tusini]

Jacinta must start by opening up March and March’s books and telling us who funds them before she makes noise about other NGOs - many of whom declare their funding by the way.
There is a reason March and March is targeting civil society institutions. Bafuna ukuliqeda lelizwe.

"I believe that a majority of us are horrified when we hear reports of women being forced to give birth on pavements. I believe that the majority of us are horrified to see little children being pulled out of schools. And so the appeal being made here is that we find our strength in each other and protect our communities from violence." Koketso Moeti, https://t.co/6MZzMvEpnL. #Xenophobia #Afrophobia #June30

THIS IS NOT HOW THIS TWEET SHOULD’VE BEEN WRITTEN.

We need bold leadership and clear communications from the Presidency condemning violence and intimidation, and making clear the consequences for violence and illegality.
Protest must be free and peaceful.

[Right2Protest @ProtestZa]

📢📢
The role of the police during a peaceful protest is to facilitate assemblies, protect everyone's rights, use force only when lawful and necessary to de-escalate tensions.

During acts of vigilantism, the police must intervene, prevent unlawful violence, and remain impartial.

[Newzroom Afrika @Newzroom405]

Willem Els from the Institute for Security Studies and Omhle Ntshingila, Project Coordinator at Right2Protest, discuss the legal responsibilities of demonstrators ahead of planned protests on Tuesday.

WATCH | Some of those who were there during the June 1976 students' uprising wrote a book on Soweto and the good side of Soweto during the apartheid era.

[Gina Romero @Ginitastar]

👁️ Festive & sporting assemblies must never be exploited as windows for mass surveillance, including using AI & biometrics. International standards (GC37) are clear: mass tracking & profiling unlawfully infringe rights and create a severe chilling effect on civic life. (2/5)

Remember the South Africans who left home after the Soweto Uprising to continue the struggle in exile. Across Africa, nations such as Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, Eswatini and Lesotho opened their doors, offering refuge, education and hope. These young people sacrificed family, comfort and certainty so that future generations could live in freedom. Their struggle became Africa’s struggle. Today we remember their courage, reflect on their sacrifice, and recommit ourselves to building the democratic South Africa they dreamed of. #YouthInExile #RememberReflectRebuild #YouthBuildSA

President Cyril Ramaphosa addresses the nation on government's management of illegal migration and the recent protests against foreign nationals.

[Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa]

I must make it clear that only the authorised government officials may act against violations of the law, including violation of our immigration laws.

No other person is allowed, for example, to confront someone in the street to demand proof of nationality.
