TW//Mention of violence
Hi everyone I know I usually don't post anything serious here. I've always preferred not to mention where I'm from for safety reasons. But currently my country - South Africa (besides suffering from the covid pandemic) is currently facing many violent protests/riots as well as the looting of shops - ie people are breaking into shops and stealing goods. The hospitals are under strain due to the rise in covid cases as well people who have been injured. There has been lots of shootings, the use of petrol bombs and many fires. The reason begin is that recently our former president was sentenced to jail and this has upset many people. It's quite scary as today the roads were basically shut down. It's terrifying because I've been hearing gunshots the entire day the situation is somewhat out of control in my opinion and the army has only been deployed recently but have honestly not done anything. Please pray for SA

Videos of protests (9mins)
I have seen several videos and received many but I don't think I will be able to post them.
This all started due to people not having shelter, food, water or jobs. Corruption was the main catalyst for this to happen. That money could've been used to aid these people in need.
Zuma was the final straw & now everyone is going batshit.
P. S. Watch the video. Comic relief that is needed.
Edit: To clarify, everyone is looting. I saw a video of a guy loading his Merc up with merchandise.
alright yall here's what's going on in South Africa. where I live.
some Zuma supporters are throwing big hissy fits bc he finally got arrested and are now making the streets very dangerous.
a group of idiots released wild animals from the zoo who are now going towards the protestors.
on top of all this there's a bunch of looters who thought it would be a good idea to reenact The Purge, so now Witbank is a big mess.
so uh yeah
stay safe out there
