I haven't seen a thread in this anywhere.
First for context :
Former president Jacob Zuma last week handed himself over to the police after he ignored a court order to appear before an anti corruption commission known as the "Zondo Commission".
An arrest warrant was then issued for him and he handed himself over to the police(to serve a 15 month jail term, at the age of 70plus) .
This was a MASSIVE story and the white owned media was all over it
The day after Zuma's arrest protests started in his home province of Kwa Zulu Natal (Zuma himself has always stroked Zulu nationalist fires, thus any attack on him is often seen as an attack on all Zulu people, all 20 million).
Those protests spread rather quickly to other provinces and major cities, then they started burning down shopping malls and looting them.
Theyve deployed the army now.
I'll keep editing this post and adding further context, historical and current.
Edit 1:
The white media is focusing strictly on the looting and vilifying the looters. Instead of providing a proper context to HOW and WHY we got to this point... So most, actually ALL the news sources are not going to provide a balanced context. They are more worried about the white businesses losing their money
Edit 2:
This is a great documentary by John Pilger from around 1997/1998.
It gives context to what was happening even then when Nelson Mandela was president and serving his only term.
South Africa's nuclear weapons(under Aparyhed) and what happened to them
