No, I’m mostly basing it off the WhatsApp call my wife had in tears with her calm dad, I could hear the crack crack of gunfire in the background.
Luckily they evacuated the office now so are home safe, at the moment the looting seems aimed at shops not homes.

Am in a parallel universe this morning with this shit going on, and the rest of the world wibbling on about rashford choking and racist abuse and yob England fans
that was a snide remark aimed at rinkals, but unnecessary considering the circumstances, so I deleted it. Seems a lot of these protests are more a response to over a decade of ANC mismanagement than pro zuma
No, it wasn't facebook.

It was a voice message from someone on my Hockey Whatsapp group.
Is this a wind up?

Why?

You don't think it's possible that I communicate with people in Durban? or that I play Hockey?

You are the one posting that police used live ammo to kill 30 people from what you heard on a whatsapp voice note, and not bothering to check real news sources to verify

It's quite tense here in the sticks, so you'll pardon me if I don't wait for items to appear on SABC news before mentioning them.

You may have heard that the SADF have been deployed?

That might be some indication that things here are not a Sunday picnic.

Yes I realise that, but it is quite a jump from looting to claiming 30 people were killed by police, based on the bastion of fake news, whatsapp voice notes

No wonder you are a vax sceptic

If you want to hear the real juicy news in SA you need to join a hockey group, it seems.

Are you sure that the real story is that 30 spectators shot themselves after watching hockey?

The Maritzburg mall was certainly pretty hot, what with being set on fire and that

Buddy,

I am living within 1 km of a rioting mob.

In a rural area.

This is the Nkandla Mafia inciting violence. Ramaphosa mustn't blink now. He must crack down. The local poor will realise they're being used as pawns in this. I think the Zuma cronies and rogue elements are scared and desparate.

Last desperate throw of the dice. If Rama buckles you can forget all charges of corruption against Zuma and the Zuma faction will grow and the likes of Magashule and co. will escape prosecution and heaven knows where our country will end up. If Zuma fails he will spend the rest of his days in jail.

Julias has been very quiet. I wouldn't be surprised if after his visit to baba in nKandla his supporters are behind this mass mobilization. It has all the trademarks of an EFF riot and looting.

He has been vaguely quiet, FFS. HE called yesterday to mobilize his 'fighters' against the SANDF, if they were deployed.

I’ve also heard that the following have been attacked or destroyed:
Game farm fences
Reservoir
Cane fields set on fire
Fire engines

Crazy scenes, and the ones who will suffer the most are likely to be the perpetrators.
Wonder if the number of deaths is accurately reported ?

Latest figure is 10 dead. But probably higher, especially given the use of live ammunition in some of the videos circulating.

So they deploy 2500 troops, but for the first lockdown last year they deployed 70 000 or 75 000. And yes I understand it was country wide, but I'm not seeing the army anywhere, have they arrived yet?

According to ENCA 27 fatalities so far.
When you watch the videos of people using live ammo, you sort of wonder how accurate that figure is.

IF the stories doing the rounds on social media are true then it is like the Wild West out there.

Stay Safe!
