Social unrest in South Africa turns to violence and looting, and Helen Zille hit with criminal case

"Police, soldiers occupy Soweto after violent anti-illegal immigration protest: Police and soldiers have been brought into Soweto, following violent anti-immigration protests where cars were torched on Thursday."

I have a feeling we are in for much bigger riots and criminality before 4 Nov 2026. Probably similar or worse than July 2021.

AND STOP CALLING IT "PROTESTS" if there is violence or damage it is illegal and a riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
