President Cyril Ramaphosa addresses SACTWU members in Durban earlier on Monday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on South Africans not to use foreign nationals as scapegoats for the country’s economic woes.
He also lashed out at the looters of foreign owned shops in Johannesburg, calling it acts of criminality.
Ramaphosa addressed the South African Clothing and Textile Workers Union (SACTWU) congress in Durban on Monday.
On Saturday, President Ramaphosa was booed at the funeral service of former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
“Our image and our standing, and our integrity have therefore been negatively affected. We will have to work very hard as South Africans to regain our statue, our position. And in this regard, it was best to just stand up and say we are sorry for what happened. And in having said so we now need to make sure that it does not happen again.”
President Ramaphosa adds that it was necessary to apologise to Zimbabweans for the attacks directed at foreign nationals in parts of the country.
