The recent South African unrest was a ‘dry run’ for more violence, sought to address Ramaphosa and defend the rights of veteran politician & Zulu leader, former President Jacob Zuma.
The recent deadly South African riots sought to topple President Cyril Ramaphosa, and the worst may be yet to come, a veteran politician and Zulu tribal leader has told RT. The shocking unrest last month was well-planned and coordinated, and not spontaneous at all.
The veteran politician added that the violence stems from “the faction fights” within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and dates back to the highly contentious 2017 race for the party leader, in which Ramaphosa narrowly beat Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the ex-wife of former President Jacob Zuma.
The riots, which claimed at least 337 lives, began as protests against Zuma’s arrest and criminal conviction. The former president handed himself over to police on July 7, after being sentenced to 15 months in prison for failing to appear for a corruption investigation.
Zuma is currently being tried on fraud and corruption charges that date back to 1999, when he served as deputy president. He denies the accusations and argues that the case is politically motivated.
The riots have been described as the worst case of violence South Africa has seen since the apartheid regime fell in the early 1990’s. Troops were deployed to help police restore order, while locals formed community patrols to prevent further damage.
Many shops remain closed after at least 40,000 businesses were looted during the height of the unrest in South Africa.
Ramaphosa condemned what he said was actually a coup, and which as far as he was concerned did not succeed. But we don’t know what may happen later.
Former ANC spokesperson Carl Niehaus, a close friend of Zuma, said last month that there was no coordinated campaign that led to violence. There is, however, an uprising of people who are deeply concerned and angered by [his] imprisonment.

He is right. I have lived in KwaZulu-Natal for 56 years, have met the man and many other leaders. The trouble is just starting.
That is what happens if capitalism gets in the way?
Another fine country the West got involved in. It had its own internal issues that would have been resolved but the West like to treat countries like their food, fast & void of any long lasting value.
If they left Rhodesia & South Africa alone to sort their own issues out, it would be a thriving country. Libya was once a thriving country with great education, good hospitals, like South Africa.
Sure it had its problems but today’s problems are far beyond what the country had before the West got involved with hostile warlike Sanctions.
More examples of how the Zionist controlled West deals with independence.
South Africa is a failed state, violence is out of control, foreign investors are leaving, the currency is tanking.
All by design. All those, behind the ANC, EFF, etc.. flocked to the Western Cape, from where they now want independence from the rest of the country.
See who actually founded the ANC, and you will know the real rulers of South Africa. Ramaphosa is their puppet, bought and paid for poster boy, far more corrupt than Zuma, and a calculated criminal, and therefore extremely dangerous.
New kid in town?
