It all starts with former President Jacob Zuma being jailed for 15 months for corruption, fraud, money laundering and state capture. His supporters say they will lay down their lives to save him. Quite ironic they want to save the very man who did not care one ounce about them and stole food right out of their mouths! Next thing you know all mayhem has broken out in Durban, Kwa Zulu Natal, which is about 6 hours drive away from me here in Gauteng province, Johannesburg (JHB). Then you wake up on 11 July 2021 to this warning:
Please noteProtestors have now started looting and burning shops & businesses in Gauteng.
They are currently in JHB CBD.
We are not sure how far and wide they might spread.
Please try avoid major centers, local townships and shopping centers.
This may continue until Tuesday.
Please stay vigilant and do not panic.

You think is this for real? Yes, it sure as hell is! You sit glued to the radio, you watch the news...and there is nothing you can do. Our police minister, Bheki Cele, is no where to be found, yet he was quick to arrest white people when they were on the beach during the CV19 lockdown! You see the police standing around doing nothing, some even helping themselves to the looting! You sit in disbelief, shock, you want to cry at the devastation. Shopping Malls burnt, Cars...burnt...trucks transporting luxury vehicles...burnt! Warehouses where food is stored...burnt! OMG! These looters are stupid!
Cry my beloved country...I am heart broken!!! I wonder what those looters are going to say when they see the destruction they have caused in South Africa...all because of the evil that encouraged them to do this with a false promise to them...has this country not suffered enough? To all those looters...are you really a proud South African? Please don't say you are...and please don't blame this on apartheid either! To those looters, I hope your children are proud of you...you have set a fine example for them. I wonder if your 'Gogo' is going to be proud of you...shame...their hearts must also be so broken now...208 cases of vandalism and violence in South Africa ...To all those that put their lives on the line to try and protect us from this devastation...may you be blessed
The Taxi drivers and every other person did more to protect their communities and Malls than the South African Police or South African National Defense Force did!
You have to wonder whether the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, is as remorseful as he claims to be...he certainly does not show it! You have to wonder is he also behind all of this? The ANC government is a divided party with inhouse fighting.
Phasha said that Zuma must be released immediately and that all the legal targeting and “legal persecution that he has endured”, including the arms deal case, should stop immediately.
Amongst the other demands made by Phasha was the nationalisation of the mines, the South African Reserve Bank and other key strategic industries and means of production.
“A State Bank must be established without delay, and our national banks must be focused on specific areas of industrial development.
“Several black banks must be established, through easing their entrance into the financial sector. Similarly the insurance industry must be unlocked for the emergence, and ultimate control, of black players,” Phasha said.
Zuma’s supporters also called for free quality education, the end of stringent lockdown regulatory measures, the prioritisation of rural development and immediate and full implementation of the Resolution of the 54th National Conference of the ANC for the expropriation of land without compensation.
“The BRICS alliance that has been neglected and de-campaigned under the Ramaphosa government, must be resuscitated and strengthened. A living wage for all public sector workers, especially the police and nurses.
“All SOE’s must be protected from being privatised, and those such as SAA that have already been privatised, and sold, must be re-nationalised. Overall, free education, vocational training, and employment must be guaranteed for all of those who are willing and able to work,” Phasha said.
She said that their demands were for an equitable black, especifically African, owned and controlled economy.
“We are almost 30 years into our democratic breakthrough, and yet the economy of the country continues to be in the hands of a white minority that hates and mercilessly exploits black South Africans.
“They hate even those compradore black capitalist agents who enable their continuing exploitation of the vast majority of black people. They are thriving on dividing and ruling us,” Phasha said.
She added that their campaign for Zuma’s release and for their demands to be implemented, will not cease until their objective to achieve a truly liberated and economically empowered country is achieved.
“Failing to do so is not an option, because the terrible alternative we live and see right now, and it is truly too ghastly to contemplate.
“Our demands, as contained in this media statement, will be delivered tomorrow to President Cyril Ramaphosa. In the light of the urgency of the situation we expect a response within 14 days,” Phasha added. Political Bureau. End.
I have highlighted the paragraph where she mentions the white minority. These blacks are the one's that hate the whites yet they always try to blame the whites for their failings. They were handed a First World country 27 years ago...over the 27 years they have turned it into a Third World country!! They always use apartheid as the blame card!
Not only that. She is clearly a security threat. In any other country she would have been arrested for these threats!!
Time will tell. We can only pray for South Africa! #PrayForSouthAfrica #SaveSouthAfrica
