Reports on Friday stated the troops would help \u201cdefend the assets of the country,\u201d while the president applauded ordinary citizens who have been working together with security forces.<\/p>\n<p>The government assured it has been doing all it can to deal with the unrest, which has killed more than 100 people over the past week. The violence has been pushed by the public\u2019s frustration with ongoing closures and economic downturn during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not what we want to see in our country,\u201d Ramaphosa asserted. \u201cObviously we are going to have to reexamine everything that we do in defense of our people, in defense of the assets of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let me be clear: we will take action to protect every person in this country against the threat of violence, intimidation, theft and looting. We will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute those who perpetrate these actions and will ensure that they face the full might of our law.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cyril Ramaphosa \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\udde6 #StaySafe (@CyrilRamaphosa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CyrilRamaphosa\/status\/1414657282651140096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rioting initially started after the jailing of the former president due to his failure to appear at a corruption inquiry.
