Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – Deputy President David Mabuza says there is no justification to mention the names of the so-called \u201cagent provocateurs\u201d behind the July unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng because the accused have appeared in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn each of these cases where there is evidence of criminal conduct they will be prosecuted in accordance with laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased the affected provinces KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng are starting to normalise, businesses and logistics networks are back in full operations,\u201d Mabuza said.<\/p>\n

He made the statement when responding during an oral question session in the National Council of Provinces.<\/p>\n

DA MP Tim Brauteseth asked him whether, in his responsibility in respect of social cohesion, Mabuza would make the identity of such \u201cagent provocateurs\u201d available and explain steps being taken to hold them accountable.<\/p>\n

The July unrest was sparked after the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma and led to more than 359 deaths.<\/p>\n

Mabuza said law enforcement agencies were still busy with investigations of criminal action and the violence of looting that took place during that period.<\/p>\n

He also said people\u2019s security and livelihoods had been restored.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for what measures had been taken to ensure the security of the country and its people, the president appointed a panel of experts to thoroughly conduct the country\u2019s response to deal with such incidents in future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Parliament will engage with the findings and recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabuza also stated that the events and aftermath of July unrest were a stark reminder that \u201cthe project of building and consolidating a democratic society that is inclusive and reflective of the aspiration of the Constitution is far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said they acknowledged the support of all who found solutions to the problems brought by the unrest and supported efforts to restore calm in various affected areas during the post- unrest period.<\/p>\n

He, however, said the extent of the poverty and inequality in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng suggested that all should work together and harder across the political divide to deepen and achieve inclusive growth as social cohesion was enhanced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is incumbent on us to find shared solutions so that such incidents don\u2019t repeat themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brauteseth said contrary to his statements, there were many businesses that had not opened in Durban.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what the unrest was about; to liberate the former president from prison. Today, you can\u2019t give the names. South Africans are not fools but demand answers when you will put South Africa first and ANC a distant second?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But, Mabuza said more than 18 people had been arrested.<\/p>\n

He also said if anyone had any information that could help the police and justice authorities, they should step forward and disclose that information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to restore order in our country and want those involved to finally held accountable. We know where to go, so I would encourage our people to report such cases to our law enforcement agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabuza said he took note of Brauteseth\u2019s comments that some businesses were not opened yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as we say the situation is back to normal there are businesses that have applied to SASRIA for support, along with the Department (of Trade and Industry). A lot of work is being done to support smaller businesses by the Department of Small Business.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the interventions are starting to take root. It will take time to restore some of the businesses that were destroyed and burnt.\u201d<\/p>\n
