We were poorly prepared - Ramaphosa─── 09:20 Sat, 17 Jul 2021

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the government, the police and other security forces were ill-prepared for the attempted insurrection that took place this week.
Hundreds of shopping centres in parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal were destroyed, costing billions of rands in damages.
Ramaphosa also says the attempted insurrection has been a failure, and the country will rebuild.
At least 212 people have been killed in the unrest in both provinces.
