This was the last nail in the coffin.
Take the culprits to the beach like they did in Ghana. That should sort any further plans out.
“What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
James 4:1-4
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥COME LORD JESUS❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Where was Jesus during slavery, colonization etc? Keep the greeks and roman lies away from us please
Bible Prophecy in full effect
Just as l said, but nobody’s paying attention to this part, the land will go back to it’s original form, Africa is the true Holy Land, this is SoNiNi NaNiNi land, Joel 3:2
Why this think always hapening here before government do something then its be late why ?
The underlying problems which r deeply rooted!
Why does they still recruiting Boars as soldiers & police officers.
@Doja Fox What are Boars?
@Martin Nyirenda The illegal. Immigrants people living in South Africa, Yes the decendance of the people that south Africa government should have deported long, long time ago.
See they hauled out the only remaining running armour. That was in line to be scrapped…
Zuma stole $500 BN, imagine that
looters just try to emulate their hero, but with less success
Doha should take over South African Riot affected cities
I miss Mandela
So heartbreaking 🥺
If Ramaphosa was wise enough he was support to release the former president Jacob Zuma cos he knows that people are fighting for him because he is innocent
Lol, innocent of what?
After last years election American can never say nothing about our countries and banana republic, Venezuela ect ect ! We are the most corrupt country in the world.
Yeah when they bring charges against the orange oaf you septics will be doing exactly the same thing
This is just the beginning
I find it interesting that both Cuba and South Africa descended into mass riots at the same time. I acknowledge that SA’s internal unrest was far worse (from what I can garner from mainstream news providers). But with both countries history’s being so closely linked (30 years ago this year). It’s interesting. Fidel and Nelson will be turning in their graves.
Where was all these kind hearted people during some of the worst human atorcities were happening

American virus/American flu
Coronavirus originated in the United States. Two virus leaks occurred at the U.S. Virus Laboratory in
Fort Detrick, Maryland, U.S. in 2019.On October 18, 2019, the 7th Military World Games was held in Wuhan china. American soldiers brought the coronavirus to Wuhan. the United States virus infected the world.Americans are trying to hide the truth
The flu comes from the U.S., Covid-19 come from the United States.
I would like to know who is being killed. Are they targeting the whites and Indians as they are threatening this all over social media. Give us the stats. We SA are tired of this violence and want to expose to the world the real rascism in this country. We demand to know are the Zulus killing in retaliation. We are also not leaving this one. We tired of minorities being bullied.
Pretty dumb
Pray to Jesus for protection, and you shall receive it! This applies to everyone around the world! The Day of Judgement is upon humanity for its sins.
Judgement is only for europeans…so you pray
Enough looting in the name of Jesus, stop this cult.
Let our people stay happy from your white missionaries
You do realize that Christianity is NOT the only (nor not even close to the oldest) religion? And there would be less push back if those that call themselves CHRISTIAN actually FOLLOWED their own rules?
The Anti Christ has to be revealed first, he has appeared yet. And the Temple hasn’t been rebuilt for the Third time. Not the end yet. Tribulation first.
ANC the original Nelson Mandela party that fought for independence of the African heritage is on a destruction path…the Opposition is equally radical….South Africa is no longer a beacon of Africa…..The East African region is emerging as an increasingly safer place for intra African trade..and multiracial multiethnic coexistence.. Race politics are are being exploited by both parties in South Africa
We South Africans will overcome this but it will be a matter of us all coming together and ensuring every disenfranchised individual has a franchise in this countries economy and then only change will happen but unfortunately this is probably a figment of my own imagination.
It will take years to overcome this.
Al Jazeera host says it over inequality (blame whitey) and South African guest doesn’t mention that ONCE! Instead stating it is BLACK ANC division that maybe behind it. People really need to push back against these race baiting media organizations.
Kosher media is not “race baiting”- they’re RACISTS who hate whites
This is nothing about race. Looting by opportunistic thugs. That’s that. Empowered by factions in the ANC that want to undermine President Ramaphosa.
Well, inequality is a factor. And it doesn’t automatically mean, between races, but rather between the rich and poor. Sit down and chill, and study some economics while you’re at it.
Cry beloved country
If the president of south Africa lifted harsher lockdowns and deployed food supplies and cheques for families, then south Africans especially those in poorer regions where unemployment is 50% wouldn’t protest for food and medicines!
Don’t believe media as south Africans protested about longer lockdowns and no jobs no foods no welfares!!
More government checks always fixes it for about a minute.
please………. bring back apartheid
AFRICA FOR AFRICANS
Tht is very unfortunate 😕
Poverty and inequality nothing to do with it. African Bush telepathy coordinated a surge of greed to steal while excusing themselves as doing it for a good cause.
Rich coming from the ANC that there are people trying to make the country ungovernable.
Takes on to know one.
KAPUT!!!
Some cannot govern themselves. Tribal minds since the beginning of civilization until the end of earth.
I haven’t been in SA but I have mates who are from there and it’s such a beautiful and unique place, if I had the chance I would love living there
uhm beauty does not equate to safety
CA Stix true , you have the same chances to get kill in NY or Detroit or Missouri than in SA
The British European Rulers and british european elites supports all Rebels who are fighting Against the ligistiment Government of the day in Africa. For example, the British European Rulers and british european elites supports Rebels against legitimate government of the day in China. They are supporting Rebels against legitimate government of the day in Cuba.They are supporting Rebels against legitimate government of the day in Iraq. They are supporting Rebels against legitimate government of the day in Syria. They are supporting Rebels against legitimate government of the day in Ethiopia.They are supporting Rebels against legitimate government of the day in South Africa from day dots. .
It’s time for Julius Malema ma to do actions …Eff 💊
Why should this shock anyone.
You know a country is on a slippery slope into the abyss when they come to rely on the ‘military’ to police the people. (Tanks don’t belong in cities generally). RIP SA.
Now, they can go and shoot “The Walking Dead” in SA
Gonzo style, no need to pay extras.
@doliverelliott Exactly-
Americans
This is what an insurrection looks like
Not wandering through the Capitol taking selfies
Shoot to kill. That is what has to be done with looters. They soon quiten down after a few deaths
THIS is why Apartheid & segregation existed!
Taliban believing Pakistan 🇵🇰 are responsible for the killing of 37000 Taliban the last 24 years.(( Taliban said the game not finished with Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Taliban not happy with Pakistan 🇵🇰 policy .
What a joke…wow…rainbow ntion showing its tru colours!
Anyone who is deal with America will suffering.
I know many white South Africans, they are hard working good Christian people. They need our help/protection and our economy needs workers. Give them Australian visas, let them relocate to safety, away from the discrimination, violence and corruption that now plagues their once prosperous country.
Can you hear yourself? If not, try this exercise, swap the word “white” with “black”, and hear how you sound. Your selective bias (maybe due to the type of media you consume) is what’s wrong with today’s society. But I understand, in Australia you don’t have any liberal news company, why would your opinion be different from that of a typical Australian?!
The Russians have a program for Boer Farmer immigrants, they obviously appreciate valuable assets, perhaps the best farmers in the world. Are Australians or for that matter any western nations that smart. Gotta feeling farmers are going to be pretty important.
HA HA HA!!!
Haru🤣🤣😂😂
When I saw haru I clicked off and switched my computer off and disconnected it from the mains then tripped the circuit breaker and left the town in from. Haru is annoying. It is insufferable this creature you call Haru.

YESHUA IS returning soon praying for everyone around the world 🙏🏻 repent
Pre Tribulation Rapture is a heresy started by John Nelson Darby in 1830.
Thank you we appreciate everything you did for us and still doing. Thanks to All Members of emergency the President and Army and police and security and everybody thats helping we are so greatfull. Long live Democracy in our beautiful south africa
“… poverty and inequality …” repeated over and over as a cause of the looting. But that’s editorial opinion since no evidence is presented. There is reason to doubt that excuse.
Elsewhere in the world there is poverty and inequality. Look at Palestine. In Gaza, the West bank and refugee camps, the Palestinian people have had many opportunities to loot because of their plight but I have never heard of them doing so.
So, there must be something else causing South African anarchy.
70 000 SANDF Soldiers deployed to enforce Covid lockdown regulations (People surfing and taking walks on the beach) and 25 000 deployed to handle some of the worst violence seen since apartheid. My Government is a joke!
this woman has cute features
Yes indeed ❤️
Never let the gap between the Rich and the poor be so big
The only informed comment I’ve seen in a while.
2 Nephi 2:26-30
Book of Mormon
This is UNs doing and its financiers. Being ruled by morons with money and failed political agendas UN has failed completely to its word. They are either too malevolent or too stupid. In any case they shouldn’t be leading the world to the toilet, far more to the future.
25000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Try 2500. Your news is NOT BASED IN FACT. LIES IN OTHER WORDS
Rumour has it that the only stores that were left untouched were the book stores.
My guess, there is no shortage of work boots and gloves.
I know you’re just being sarcastic (or are you?!), but check what happened to Protea Bookshop in Bara Mall Soweto, just as a warm up.
Knowledge is power.
I almost committed suicide when I found out I had herpes virus, I was going through a health blog when I saw how a woman testified of how Dr IGUDIA on YouTube cured her and I decided to contact him, to my greatest shock he actually cured me and now I test negative. You all can also contact him for help on any kind of disease on his YouTube channel
I though it was a Peaceful protest! 😂
That is exactly what a “peaceful protest” looks like to a Marxist.
If you fight the rule of law and support Zuma, investors see that their investments wouldn’t be safe. So jobs are gone, and the future too.
Economics 101. Stability=investments. Of course the Chinese could Belt n Road this society to a point where they rhapsodize poetic nostalgia about the good old days of Apartheid. We shall see.
Destruction of Infrastructure and Social Order by means of Violence makes inequality worse not better as may be Judged by Consequences yet to be realized.
Destroying a Bakery reduces overall Bakery Good’s. Poor People suffer the most, Rich People can have fresh Bakery Good’s flown in from Europe every day. Violence creates more inequality. We shall see how these events and others contribute to an overall decline in South African prosperity.
Planned protests, yes. Happening here also.
We keep hearing Africa is the richest place in earth.
What is going on here??
The only stores not turned over and looted and burned according to one commentator, were the book stores. And another said that ‘Apartheid must still be alive and well in this hole of a country…… You hardly ever get to see any whites in all of these videos’.
Ahah! You must be Australian. How are the koalas?
With all of the CRT in the USA, South Africa is America’s future.
15 July 2021
Durban, South Africa
A “real” veteran soldier’s reflections on the past days.
We survived an event that will go down in history and be spoken about around the world for decades to come.
They will make movies and write books about this.
But that’s irrelevant.
But here’s what is relevant to my mind.
Thank you to Zuma’s sons and Malema and all the other roll players for this un planned most powerful gift.
Through your planned actions and failure of actions, as things spiraled out of control, you have achieved something that even Nelson Mandela couldn’t get right.
Out of the fires of the lawless chaos has been born a whole new caliber of law abiding citizen.
For the first time that I have ever seen, we stood shoulder to shoulder with our fellow neighbour’s prepared to have each other’s backs to the end.
Blacks,whites,colored and Indian together, without rich or poor or any other divisions. We fought side by side to protect our neighborhoods where all our families lives were depending on us, and so we counted on each other in a way we never EVER have before.
I look at the taxi association with a new respect as well. Nothing was more important than saving what shop’s and infrastructure was still possible to be saved so we may eat tomorrow. And when there seemed no hope by our exhausted and over burdened police force and no army around , it was the taxi association that stepped up and fought them back with us
And yesterday where were they? Helping to clean up the Durban CBD.
You have my respect for these acts gentlemen, will try and be a bit more patient with taxis going forward.
We all went through this together, we shared the same fears for our families, we shared coffee and what food we had while we stood protecting our families at our blocades in the thick of the chaos. We even shared our ammo. And in these last days I think our eyes have opened to many things.
But for me the main things I saw that gives me hope was this.
Not every body is a born soldier, but the majority of South African men who were out there due to necessity drew strength from the confidence and determination of those of us who have served. They found there “inner boer” and if this happens again, there will be less fear and hesitation to take there place along side there neighbour’s again because they know how strong and sure we are together.
The bonds forged out of this has changed the dynamics of the law abiding neighborhoods and communities permanently for the better.
When you stand shoulder to shoulder in the dark against a real threat, you see the metal of a man. Not his cars , jewelry or status, or colour, just the stripped down bare heart, guts and metal of one another….. And these new bonds forged now are on THAT level!
And yes we’ve lost a lot, mostly material stuff that can be replaced or rebuilt. And the coming days are going to be hard too, we know this aswell, but we will be OK because we have our communities and NOW we know them and know we can trust them. We have a base to start from.
We will be ok!
Thank you every body who stood together, you all have my complete respect and appreciation for your part.
RESILIENT, ACCOUNTABLE & UNITED
THE LAW ABIDING KZN COMMUNITY
I’m very proud to be counted among you.
May God Bless you all
An old soldier
Very well said, Sir! Past few nights manning the barricades and patrolling have definitely shed the light on the beauty of this rainbow nation! When it comes to the basic interpretation needs we CAN perform as an able civilian apparatus and improve this country. I only hope that this momentum won’t die off, and we will exercise this newly found voice to really improve the country instead of overlooking the major problems
, this is a post made by someone else, i cannot take credit for it but I thought that it was relevant due to the continual posts on Aljazeera about this being all about white against black, sorry for all those who posted these racist comments it’s not about that.
This is a basket case.
To everyone in South Africa pls be careful n stay safe, I hope the situation will get better soon. My prayers goes to you
Sure and I admire your optimism but I am willing to bet you the miscreants run out every decent productive person and what remains will starve or eat each other. And so I suppose I agree with you the situation should ultimately get better.
if u r starving, take 4k tv home.
– old black African saying.
SYRIL RAMAPOSA NEED TO WITHDRAW THE TROOPS… THERE ARE PROBLEMS WHENEVER PEOPLE ARE LOCKED 🔒 DOWN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME without food and employment… The Government can’t lock down the Country and then turn Troops out on them… Where is the Understanding of these Leaders in regard to a imposed Crisis. Did the Government not understand that these things will happen if people are locked down for so long without food and employment? If the government believes this was a planned event they may be on to something… A recent ARTICLE CLAIMS THAT A SOUTH AFRICA CRIPTO FIRM HAS STOLEN SOME 4 BILLION US 🇺🇸 DOLLARS WORTH OF BITCOIN… MAYBE this was a distraction put on by Theives,,,, The sad part is hundreds of South African People have been Murdered by Troops…. Their are Crimminals operating out of South Africa yet these Citizens are being slaughtered just for wanting everyday necessities… Streamed 3 weeks ago 5281.1k views Joelbenjamin. They are busy getting rich at the expense of South Africans….
Ramaposa allowed this to happen!
They took everything away from them their land their resource their womens you just don’t understand man they are fed up with your bullshit
Investors watch and learn would you spend your money here?
HAHA! AT LEAST WE DON’T HAVE APARTHEID, RIGHT GUYS?
Wow, Army with Tanks on the streets of South Africa against own people?
South Africa police service couldn’t/can’t handle criminals and looters?
Sorry i think police chief must resign immediately…
By the way Zuma is Not the only one who was accused of corruption, where are others?
Kind of like Minneapolis Minnesota. Accept I doubt the SA tanks and APCs will be functional after a weeks use, who will maintain them? The CCP. The fun is just getting started everywhere. By fun I mean like a Mad Max movie. No offense.
that looks like Antifa – BLM riots!……
Well, the country people will be OK, since that´s where there is food. And, of course, those with relatives in the country. Those in the city without relatives in the countryside will be in danger of starving as the country collapses.
I had to dumb my English down to a skinhead level to finally get what you’re saying. That’s how ridiculous your comment sounds. The unrests happened only in parts of two out of nine provinces, and they’ve since stopped. Relax.
The curse of Nobel peace price, namely Mandela, Gorbachev, Aung san suu kyi, and Abiy Ahmed, as opposed to Dalai Lama and Liu Xiaobo who never got their way.
What does Mandela’s nobel peace price have to do with any of these?
@Katlego Did It coincidence?
Regardless of whether it is politically motivated or not, the real victims are the public and business owners.
Inequality and Hanger; what has that got to do with other people’s property?
