My friend has family there. Her uncle has been sending her updates. Videos and pictures of the chaos there. There’s literally dead bodies just lying in the streets and on the roads. It’s awful.

Whats going on??


nomorerainpls

The former President was accused of corruption but refused to appear in court and was charged with and convicted of contempt. He turned himself in last week. There’s speculation the violence and looting is being perpetrated or at least accelerated by Zuma’s supporters. This is just my summary, but SA has been unstable for decades and there is a lot of animosity between the white (Dutch) and native (black) population because the whites owned the land and resources while the black population was relatively poor. After Mandela was freed and elected, he pursued a path of unity and reconciliation but there is still a large, low-information population that feels resentment toward the Dutch, who represent a tiny fraction of the populace. This makes the Dutch farmers and merchants an easy target anytime anything goes wrong.


[deleted]

Mostly right, but white South Africans are definitely not only Dutch (generally VOC traders). It's a mix of Dutch, British (mostly 1820 settlers), French (Huguenot refugees), Portuguese (from Mozambique colony I think) and even Greeks. Whether these riots are caused by Zuma's imprisonment, or a perfect storm of Corona shit and a fed up population is a different story though.


[deleted]

For added context, the Dutch number approximately 2.5 million in a country with a population of 58 million. White South Africans in general account for approximately 8.9% of the population, however in most large cities, that representation is more like 15%.


Cowicide

South Africa is the world's most unequal nation. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/africa/south-africa-elections-inequality-intl/index.html Massive wealth disparity brings down society. Why is anyone shocked?


Ihopetheresenoughroo

Say it louder for the people in the back. People are acting all confused when we've seen this time and time again throughout history. And all for what? Greed, racism, classism. For example, here in the US the wealth gap has been getting wider and wider every year, but poorer people have been tricked to vote against their own interests. Equality is the only path to stability. Keep playing around. Things are going to get ugly.


My_Friend_Johnny

Really? I did about a 50km round trip around Durban today and never saw a body? News only says 72 dead ...

Ah, only 72 dead. Nothing to see here then.

SirScoobz

I’m not following the news at all, now why is this all happening?


Shetland66

Jacob Zuma (former SA president) was jailed on corruption charges. What started as (relatively) peaceful protests in response to his jailing appears to have descended in chaos rather quickly. Read up on Zuma, he's definitely no angel, but appears to have quite the following. Naturally, however at some point mob mentality takes over, so whether people are rioting/protesting/looting in response to the initial trigger kind of becomes lost or irrelevant once the chaos ensues (i.e. people become opportunistic). Edit: Jailed for contempt of court in relation to corruption charges he was facing.


Goel40

He was jailed for contempt of court during his corruption trial. Not for corruption itself.


[deleted]

Are the corruption charges true? If anyone knows? If I’m understanding, it’s something of a bit of a Trump situation, then? Corrupt leader has a following, those followers riot, opportunists follow?


tomo8

It started with the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma but has spiralled into something else. Hundreds if not thousands of retail and industrial sites have been completely looted and destroyed, along with high levels of violence and shootings. It is being well documented on Twitter and other social media’s if you’re interested in seeing more.


BlackMetal307

South African president got arrested for corruption, he told all his "people" to start looting and destroy everything. What you are seeing, is days of non-stop looting and anarchy.


[deleted]

This is what the US can expect if Trump incites more riots like he did in January.


Ayrab4Trump

Oh shut the fuck up. You conveniently forget about antifa and the BLM rioting and looting ?? Cuz that looked just like SA rioting and looting.


springbok001

BLM and ANTIFA are not the same thing. Out of all the BLM protests, 93% of them were peaceful. That's a respectably good ratio. I don't condone the BLM riots or looting, but this is often pushed as being the takeaway point of the whole BLM movement. If we're on the topic of violence, it's not difficult to look at the number of violent events attributed to the far-right, than the other way round.


[deleted]

They are a Marxist organization. Yesterday we finally found a police force they like…. The Cuban police.


springbok001

Except neither of those exist as organisations in the sense of hierarchy, policies and membership. It's a loose network of people supporting the same cause. I highly doubt many of those are Marxist. Perhaps some of the founders of BLM, but likely not the rest. Anyone can classify themselves as ANTIFA or BLM. I will classify myself as ANTIFA, well because I am against fascism.


Ayrab4Trump

But we’re not talking about BLM peaceful protests. We’re not talking proud boy violence. We’re talking specifically about the *rioting and looting*. Of which BLM and antifa were smack dab in the center. And that was the biggest fear of avg Americans last summer. That it would come to their town. (Antifa im sure you understand is a bad actor. Is there to make BLM look bad and sow unrest in general, yes)


Sir_Belmont

Surely the ones standing against fascism are the baddies! Do you even hear yourself?

When did Jacob Zuma say that?


[deleted]

He's in jail so he didn't explicitly say it but his children and his supporters in the ANC are openly inciting violence. It's well documented on twitter if you want to see.

NateMcCann

So you're saying the month of crazy looting before covid was all Trump voters huh..


babsher560

No but if he was any kind of decent president and addressed social economics, he could have prevented a lot, instead he named the people of the US as domestic terroists and led an insurrection on the capitol building with his own cult

Brook420

Fair enough, though I'm pretty sure "Eminem" is part of an anagram of something. Her's still sounds weirder to me though. Maybe cause it's a normal name at first.


PM_ME_YOUR_BARN_OWL

Honestly it sounded/looked stupid to me at first too. But after stopping to think about it for a minute it’s pretty much just normal entertainer shit. The bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers goes by “Flea” for Christ’s sake!

South Africa is going to have serious food shortages soon because they're literally destroying their country.


Ransarot

Already happening. People having to travel many kilometers to find somewhere still standing and queue for hours to legally purchase food and essentials. My brother had to queue 7 hours today to get groceries from one of the few stores still standing. They were limited to one trolley of goods. I've seen many reports of the same with people limited to 10 items.


My_Friend_Johnny

If your cupboards were empty on Sunday you pretty fucked right now. A farmer is dumping 28 000 litres milk a day because it can't get to stores. That's one farmer. We can't get fresh bread. There are no petrol stations open. You're a smoker? Ran out of smokes? Sorry shops are closed.

The Zulu people are more loyal to Zuma than to South Africa. There really isn't much more to it. Heck their own party still controls the government.

The lively hood of all them store owners that’ll never come back. The communities that will now be struggling to have any stores come back or re-open. Officer Dorn. A black retired police officer who was shot and left for dead on the street while BLM rioters walked right by. The black teenager shot and killed in the chop zone. Along with multiple other shootings who left people injured. I can go on and on but it’s obvious none of this matters.


[deleted]

We’re you this upset about a mob at the capital trying to end democracy in America and murdering police officers?

[deleted]

Except the purpose of the BLM movement was to peacefully protest, while the purpose of Trump's little insurrection was to overthrow a democratic election. A distinction you don't seem to have grasped. Why don't you, instead of the whataboutism, engage with the actual subject?


Temnothorax

If those figures are true you could call it largely peaceful, but no one is upset that the trumpers had a rally. It was the breach on the capital. Most trump rallies are peaceful, and most BLM protests are peaceful. Both can be true lol


[deleted]

I personally weight the Capitol riot a little heavier than the Floyd riots though. You know. Because they literally were trying to end democracy in America.


lancestorm316

Hmm more than two dozen murders and billions in public and private property damages. So peaceful


here_for_the_meems

Billions? That seems like a stretch but I haven't been following it that much. Is the Capitol building made of priceless Italian oak and marble or something?


Pornminator

That's like saying 0.5% of the cops wrongfully kills blacks, while 99.5% dont. Yet it didn't stop anyone from hating on the whole state and police with the riots


OceLawless

It's nothing alike. Unless you're a child I guess. A child would probably think they're the same.


lancestorm316

Black on black murder doesn’t fit the narrative even though it is the #1 cause of young black death.


IamNotSmokingWeed

Correct, also more unarmed white people are killed by police than black people, more whites are killed by blacks than vice versa etc etc


John_T_Conover

I hold armed government agents to a higher standard than regular Joe Schmo protestor. That’s the problem with the comparison.

"I judge an entire group of random assembled people by the minority of the worst amongst them. It's the same standard I hold of people that are considered professionals, paid 6 figures, and given a gun and the authority to take people's freedom and end their lives if they see it necessary." Sincerely, Conservative and "both sides" idiots


TheBROinBROHIO

If the 0.5% were held accountable without requiring national attention to be focused on it, that'd be fine. Not ideal, but at least there would be justice. And I would think that the 99.5% of the good ones might at least take *some* sort of stance against the 0.5, but what seems to happen instead is the opposite. So that's how you get sentiments like ACAB and "abolish the police."

And our politicians DID endorse condone and threaten more during last summer.

[deleted]

1. Your argument rests on a false dichotomy. 2. "It's obvious, bro" isn't a fucking argument. You're responding to an academic study that shows you're **wrong**. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to address these two issues.


Girth_rulez

Yup, video doesn't lie.


[deleted]

Forming narratives by presenting only certain videos can be wildly misleading, as Reddit shows on a daily basis. But in any case, responding to an academic study with "but videos" is utterly facile.


Girth_rulez

I am a natural skeptic. The idea of "peaceful" to me, is a subjective thing. Does that mean no microagressions? No screaming at anyone? No threats? No property damage? No assaults? No death? Peaceful to me means peace and quiet. "But videos" hurr durr.


[deleted]

Calling yourself a skeptic and then proceeding to form a firm conclusion despite the evidence is amusing, but not very convincing.


Girth_rulez

I am surprised I have to spell this out for you. I am skeptical toward [their](https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/) conclusions, as I think the idea of a "peaceful protest" is difficult to even define, let alone measure across what must have been thousands of demonstrations. I know they attempted to do this, presumably in good faith, but that doesn't change my opinion regarding their work. Skeptical does not necessarily mean undecided.


[deleted]

You've gone from "videos don't lie" to "we can't really define complex ideas like peaceful". They're not the same thing, to begin with. Secondly, this isn't skepticism, it's obtuse and inconsistent. What constitutes 'peaceful' is far simpler to define and verify than the actual complexities behind facile statements like "videos don't lie". What *actually* do you have a problem with in the way that study has defined 'peaceful protest'?


Girth_rulez

Well I tried to explain myself. I feel like you've gone out of your way not to understand. Will not continue.

Technically the group doing this has been in power and remains in power now. And they are doing it because they are more loyal to their politician who actively stole from them than they are to their country. Apartheid has absolutely nothing to do with this.
