South Africa’s military has been deployed after protests against the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma turned violent.
At least six people have been killed and hundreds arrested in Zuma’s home province of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng province.
Zuma is in prison for refusing to obey court orders to appear before a panel on investigating corruption during his time in office.

South Africa crazy. mad. Nonsense. All kinds of bad things are available specifically in black people. how investors will be investing this nonsense country. They way i see at future investors will runway from their country
Go to Saudi Arabia then and see how your brothers will welcome and treat you there. Didn’t you learn from the Somalis who cried to AU for being shipped back then? Be careful we might be the best refuge you got.
Eat the rich.
pass da gravy …….
Why is the looting segregated
Thats a good question
I wonder why investors put their hard earned money into investments in this country only to be looted by hardcore looters.
This literally has never happened before so what is your point?
@Samantha Taylor what’s never happened before?
it doesn’t seem wise for businesses overseas to do business in S.A. does it?
Because greed
Dumb twits ruining there own country looks like a dump
Its strange that this coronavirus don’t take such people??? Mr. Ramaposa need more 3000 new police for civil protection.
Teaching your children principles of God is so important dont steal is a command simple as that
I wish I could like this more than once.
I wanted to tap like multiple times but then realised I’d unlike
They only supported him because he supported their ideas on white genocide and free money.
The Collapse Of Capitalism!
That is the plan.
CITIZENS IN KZN S.A need international aid. We running out of food, our businesses and houses are being looted.
@UN
@POTUS
@MOS_MEA
get guns and do it yourself – the old fashioned european way –
Fix the poverty issue otherwise u have a long way to go
Very sad to see ththe results after the “ apartheid “ they have to improve and help the poor people
Clearly the “poor” are helping themselves.
For more than a year, you’ve kept people locked up, jobs lost, no food, rationing isn’t working, now that they had a glimmer of hope that this lockdown is about to end, you come up with another reason to keep them locked up all over again? All the while you, your families and your ministers enjoy lavish lifestyles. What did you really think would happen? African leaders are stupid and wicked seriously.
If it’s Cuba, Venezuela, China or North Korea: SOCIALISM doesnt work and a DICTATORSHIP is REPRESSING protesters.
If its a impoverished capitalist nation with a “democratic” government: “South Africa deploys army in two provinces to stop violence”
Looting😂😂😂
Like in uk & usa
Same😜😜😜
Mandelas rainbow “nation“.
This what happens when people are eating oatmeal and the fat cat’s eat 🥩 I know they have the white neighborhoods fill with cops and military people
Half of the countries this year and last year have experienced deadly riots, i can’t face the riot that will probably occur in my country soon.
So it’s a free for all !!
SAD DAY FOR AFRICA
OPPORTUNISTIC VANDALISM AND SHIOOTING
Took the president 4 days to digest his lobster before he made a statement…
Lmao!! He was waiting for the wine from France to wash it down.
This current president is worse than Zuma could ever be. The man and his organization is spineless, useless and typically incompetent.
I am from nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
What is happening. Can someone tell me
Liberated freedom at work.
Looks like Minnesota and Portland. Joggers gonna jog.
The property being destroyed doesn’t belong to the judiciary or the government but ordinary citizens of South Africa.The opportunists pedaling the narrative that business owners in South Africa are the reason they are battling with poverty.
it seems that the properties broken are most big companies (multinationals). Those companies all are insured. The insurances companies will pay but they these companies are extremely rich so no one will suffer. If they robbed the government or judiciary it would be a lot worse because in this case the own citizens would have to pay.
Down with capitalism.
@L X thanks you for your insight.
@Samantha Taylor “do more research” lol so helpful
@Nick Jer it’s not my job to educate you.
@Samantha Taylor It’s hard to imagine what that would look like since it hasn’t been done properly yet. I do agree with placing limits on capitalism and removing money from politics. Improving and expanding the social safety net would also be good.
@Big Rah whatever happens, capitalism must go. End of story.
What anger, I see them laughing and stealing
It’s funny u got back to state hospitals for assistance yet you destroying the government at the sametime….
Milatary is deployed – your move juju
Free
Every one under the low
Africa Booboo and the Zulu nation shall rise again..🤣
I am disappointed to see how we can destroy our own country, just for quick materialism. I know people are suffering but this is self defeating criminal activity!!!!
Limited Zuma 100% price reduction promo.
Judge dont make an rulling without consultation
Inequality is the problem. Greed is fear. Sharing is love.
Totes. It should be more equitable, like in Rwanda and ROC during the 90s. Let them govern themselves. I’m sure it’ll be ok. Maybe someone will discover a Vibranium seam and transform the country, neh. . . the entire continent!
Something is wrong with the black man. It is time to change our thinking by taking responsibility for the outcome of our lives. When are we going to have an advanced black nation on earth? We simply can not govern ourselves. This is a million step backwards. We need an African Revival.
@Black Heart Reality demobilizes and leaves you with no option. Hope gives you options.
@Lawracles LP we’ve been hoping and praying for 400 years. Black in reality and build a military. Im Yoruba not Nigerian
@Black Heart What have we been praying and hoping for? The answer is nothing. Until we all agree that one African or any black nation outside the continent needs to be a developed nation, we have no hope and no need for prayers. The prayer for the last 400years is without any defined vision and mission. I have succeeded in debunking the rhetorics that we have been praying.
@Lawracles LP continue praying while nothing changes. This foolishness is a good example of why we are where we are
@Black HeartGenuine prayer fuels action. We are only religious. We are not prayerful. That’s why things haven’t changed. A change in our thinking pattern can be expedited by prayers. The world has gone far, leaving us far behind. We need some spiritual intervention to catch up, let alone, overtake. If we remain logical, we will be hopeless.
The British European Rulers and british european elites came with Ships and Powerful Guns to Steal Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America, Africa. For example, the British European Rulers and british european elites came with Ships and Powerful Guns to Steal Australia from the Hands of Aborigines who are ligistment Landlords of Australia.
It’s a shambles the cops and the army are useless they are thieving with the riotors
I’m so happy that South Africans chose black rule. Congratulations. The black majority running the nation are doing a great job.
Hi Paul. Couldn’t have put it better myself!
What weak leadership!…. ANC….. amandla
So destroying all of these businesses is going to work how?
Dutch kept it cool…they needed to go..now this🤣🤣🤣🤣 such morrons
even parents are stealing. what they are teaching their children?? coz they supposed to be role model for their kids. ..
Supposed to be be a report about the unrest in SA , but of course they had to mention about the suspension of all those death jab programs, well at least that’s a good thing.
Grab thoseGuptas n lock them with Zooma
Why don’t the looters loot the Journalist? The cameras are worth thousands of dollars!!!
Just same old thing always looting all excuses it’s bs
It all comes down to individual culture. If the population has no culture, no morals and only poverty, this happens the second the opportunity arises.
When safety, kindness and rule of law is taught from an early stage to develop a generation of rational innovative people, this won’t happen. Sadly these countries never got the chance to focus on that and now everyone is living fortnite free for all over there
Its the white mans fault – CNN MSNBC AL JAZEERA FREE THE WESTERN CAPE 😂😂😂
At least they got something real to riot about like starvation and suppression. End the corruption ,make jobs. Stronger economy will lessen these events.
Durex 🤣🤣🤣
The law and order situation in South Africa is out of control. The UN Security Council should take tough action now.
Sit boo boo sit good doggy, ZIONIST MEDIA
I’m South African. And this breaks my heart. I left the country in 2000. Never ever to return. The place is a mess. Why don’t BLM and most of the Leftist overseas media report this? I only saw this on Fox and Sky news. Thanks to YouTube.
Of course you saw it on Faux!
Drastic measures and punishment should take to place to ensure that this does not happen again. What a disgrace stealing from your own house!? They will reap what they sowed
It’s ok. They take whatever belongs to them ✌🏿
Police carry arms but have to leave when rocks are thrown at them …. serious? They obviously have never heard of the term ” Don’t take a rock to a gun fight”.
There habit about someone thinks
I can’t believe Americans go to South Africa as tourists.
Pretty tired of hearing that people who riot and loot are doing because they are poor. Bullshit. Poor people know right from wrong just like the rest of us.
I am from South Africa, there are currently lootings and complete unrest in our country and we are scared. People are not sleeping, our community members our out patrolling and trying to keep their families safe. The army is not yet in many areas and the government is lagging. We are weeks away from complete nothingness. Everything will be burnt and looted. People will sit unemployed and starving. The world needs to be aware of the plight of helpless citizens, taxpaying citizens who are on the brink of losing everything. Please spread the word to the world. Innocent people are getting killed and kicked out of their homes. Businesses are being burned through the ground and after all this looting there is no food supplies available. Please help spread the word about KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng to the rest of the world.
Thats very bad plz Allah save RSA🤲🤲
No police or army, around the world, can contain or control poor people if they choose to up-rise. Why? Because they are the Majority with nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Apartheid doesn’t look so bad now huh?….
What’s happening now in South Africa and Cuba will soon be happening around the world. A war between the rich and poor.
lol, oh no! Not the covid lockdown!
Looks like the DA will win the next election and rule South Africa for the next 100 years.
Is this a South African Karma?
You people can report every other thing except the genocide happening in Biafran land of Present Nigeria, we are watching.
Mayu going be mayu….
Protesting turning to stealing stuff…..Look so sad 😞
BLM HOOLIGÄNGS?? 😉
Maybe we can take a knee for ZA? Would that help? Someone get LeBron down there. Collin too.
This country should be taken back to the whites
The black government faied to rule it’s people so whites or indian should rule
Better off under the afrikanners huh ? At least they knew how to create a functional system
South Africa is a land were majority blacks are poor and whites and indians and a very few blacks are rich or middle class. Add to to the mix is a corrupt and innept government. This has been a ticking time bomb for decades. Covid-19 lockdowns and the Zuma issue was the last straw that broke the camels back.
Protests….🤣🤣🤣
Very sad to look at ‼️

Time to extend Zuma’s sentence for inciting riots. Time to use live rounds on the scums.
This is savagery at it’s best
Take no one has masks on including police
In SA, Its not about the president look no one is wearing masks hahaha and they not falling over or dieg. We know if you test with Ethylene oxide on all tests and make the cyles high everyone will test positive. Good work S. A for showing everyone the virus was not real out of how many years a virus can spread globally hahaha what a joke and that happened to happen on time. We know every 100 years a new virus perfectly timed
Take note no one has a mask on including the people reporting the work haha they force people and tell people to wear masks inside the house but they dont do it themselves
This must be the wonderful new South Africa comrade Mandela promised!, when are they going to pull down his statues???
This is Nelson Mandela’s political party, that destroyed South Africa. The liberals keeps on focussing on economic inequality. Did they mention that Nelson Mandela‘s party looted more than $500 billion. Did they mention that nelson Mandela‘s party destroyed all the state owned entities. Did they mention that Nelson Mandela‘s party is governed by a bunch of gangsters. They keep on focussing on something that is basically irrelevant at this point in time. The ANC took over 30 years ago. They received the country with a excellent infrastructure.They manage to totally mess it up. There is bound to be economic inequality if the Black people didn’t invent the wheel 200 years ago. Do you expect magic economic equality. The fact of the matter is that it’s an inept corrupt government. Economic inequality is what the liberals use as an excuse when they can’t face reality. It is time to stop using excuses and start doing something about it. Wake up you are living in a dreamworld…..Nelson Mandela’s political party is nothing more than a corrupt government, a bunch of gangsters. They are in capable of governing. After the second world war Europe was destroyed totally. 30 years later new Cities arose from the ashes. Nobody blamed economic inequality. Wake up from your dream world buddy. Nelson Mandela’s party ended up being one of the biggest disappointments of the 20th and 21st
Israel and AMERICA is involved this Unrest
Sooooo you say this is due to government corruption ……. well citizen ……….. can you name me one country that does not suffer from corruption ……….
Do you think the looting and burning are awful ……. imagine the number of rapes muggings murders and other criminal opportunities that will not be reported by the fake media …….
Congratulations South Africa!
