Africa Responds To Unrest And Looting In South Africa (PIX) by TMKsouth: 7:23pm On Jul 13, 2021
Amid widespread looting in South Africa following the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma, residents of its African neighbours have taken to social media to share their thoughts on events in Mzansi (nickname for SA).

Zuma handed himself in to prison authorities last Wednesday to start his 15-month jail sentence after the Constitutional Court convicted and sentenced him on June 29 for contempt of court over his failure to testify as ordered before a probe into corruption during his presidency.

Loyal Zuma supporters in KwaZulu-Natal (his home province) initially responded in protest that turned into looting as buildings and cars were set on fire. The violence and looting continued to spread across KZN (Durban) and Gauteng (Johannesburg).

Nigeria

“South Africa needs huge military presence to stop this seasonal looting. I’m sure Nigeria will be glad to send their soldiers,” a Nigerian local wrote on social media.

"What in the madness is going on in South Africa? Is the looting government sponsored like it was in Nigeria sometimes last year?" posted another.

Ghana

Tweets from Ghana followed with, "We said we are suffering in Ghana, but South Africans suffer (more than us)" and "One day the looting in South Africa will happen in Ghana, we don't wish it but when the people are fed up, there'll be a reaction."

Botswana

Closer to home, a Botswana resident responded with, "I had a feeling something like this would happen in SA since the start of the year… This is why I’m so adamant on Botswana not relying on South Africa so much".

Meanwhile, Botswana has issued a travel alert and advised its citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to South Africa due to the unrest.

“Batswana who are already in South Africa are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid unnecessary movements, especially in cities such as Johannesburg and Durban,” read the statement.

Kenya

"Let's admit underlying issues are grave: state capture, looting, impunity, gluttony."

Thanx man. It's definitely scary times, I've never seen anything like this. But we will come out of this stronger. Already communities are mobilising to fight back against the anarchy. No crazy Zuma looters will destroy our country.

Playing devil's advocate: in a country experiencing a devastating 3rd Covid wave with daily infections averaging 20,000 people and over 60,000 deaths so far - maybe there's a market. Especially because some unscrupulous undertakers have been known to dig up their own coffins soon after burial - true story (so they'll definitely buy on the black market).

But yes, at face value it is nonsensical.

That's Good.
Also heard the ANC are trying to file criminal charges against Edward, Duduzane & Duduzile based on their SM-support for the violence in KZN & other places.

I watched the twin boy's probe at the Zondo Commission yesterday, some arrogance...wtf

Death toll has climbed to 72 with over 1000 arrests. Communities are coming out and guarding against looting taking shifts night & day which is good.

I think the Zuma issue was just a springboard wrt the frustrations occasioned by Poverty & COVID-19 lockdown.

When you keep people in for a long time, and there is neither food nor money, what happens?

Unemployment is now over 30%...Zuma's arrest was just a catalyst.


PS: Why is Malema's account suspended?
