Pretoria - South Africa has sent condolences to victims of the terrorist attack that struck in Berlin on Monday evening.
A truck ploughed into a Christmas market in the heart of Berlin, killing over 10 people and injuring nearly 50.
“The South African Government condemns in the strongest terms terrorist attacks in any form and from whichever quarter. We send our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased and we wish all the injured speedy recoveries,” President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday.
Also on Monday, a gunman stormed into the prayer hall of a mosque in Zurich, Switzerland, and opened fire wounding three people before fleeing.
President Zuma described the acts as “cowardly”.
“Acts of violence and extremism have no place in society and constitute a threat to development, peace and security. We wish the injured a speedy recovery,” he added. - SAnews.gov.za
