<p>The UK is concerned by the outbreak of violence in July in South Africa, which
sadly resulted in loss of life, injuries, and substantial damage to buildings and
businesses. The South African Government put a number of measures in place to restore
calm and secure shopping malls, petrol stations and key transport routes, including
the deployment of the South African National Defence Force to support the police.
The situation is now calm, and access to food and essential supplies has been restored.</p><p>We
support President Ramaphosa's emphasis on the importance of the rule of law. Our Integrated
Review sets out our commitment to fighting threats to democratic values and open societies
around the world.</p>
