'What we saw was an act of criminality, nothing else.' – Takalane Nemangowe. We saw the headlines, we had our eyes glued to social media, we were filled with anxiety about the looting and violence in KwaZulu-Natal. Stores were destroyed and livelihoods shattered and for what? How do we vandalise our brother and sisters’ shops, destroy local economies, and spur violence in the name of Jacob Zuma? Street Talk investigates.

Yes…that was the plan – incite violence and mayhem, get the security force and army to overreact and blame CR for another Marikane! That way, the Zuma faction within the ANC takes back power, changes the Constitution, nationalizes the Reserve Bank, print more money to steal in the short term and bugger up the future for all South Africa who haven’t got bitcoin, gold in Dubai or nest eggs in Malaysia! Just my opinion and electing to use my freedom of speech to say it!
