Their core customers, as well as their staff, are the black middle class that has grown since apartheid. Over the past few days, however, looters have overrun malls in cities such as Pretoria, Durban and Johannesburg. Thousands of criminals have ransacked shops, dragging with them empty suitcases to fill with booty. Arsonists have burnt trucks along a major motorway. Rioters have blocked roads used by nurses and doctors to reach hospitals dealing with a massive third wave of covid-19. Ambulances have been attacked. Vaccination sites have been forced to close. Businesses have closed offices and sent staff home. At least six people have been killed and hundreds have been arrested. On July 12th the government said it would deploy soldiers to bolster the police. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2021/07/12/south-africas-government-deploys-the-army-to-quell-unrest https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57803513 Its being called the Zuma Riots. --- Sig User Logic https://imgur.com/lA5fm7w <cite>iPhone_7 posted [p:956017758] in Military d...

Antifar 07/12/21 7:06:45 PM #9:	Separately to his imprisonment for contempt of court, Zuma is being tried on corruption charges. He pleaded not guilty last month in a case involving a $5bn (3bn) arms deal from the 1990s. His supporters argue he is the victim of a political witch hunt, orchestrated by Ramaphosa allies.
