Too many weak men for something like this to happen. People would much rather offload the responsibility of protecting their family to some authority figure.

Too many intelligent men for this to happen. People have things to lose, "stong men" generally dont have much to lose.
Why go fight someone else's war when you could just move to a safer country?

SA have a plan? Seriously? BTW nice pics of a fantastic SAP. So they geared up for July. Then the mastermind & cronies have been arrested & jailed? Working with all SA's. Wonder which ones? So much for competence. I believe the Police Minister is the dude with the hat? He screamed @ somebody to SHUT UP. My friend sent the vid. Must say great guy. No wonder.....

Still never heard what happened to the POP units? Only three years previously they were announced having expansions with presence in every Province, and a unit in Pretoria which could be dispatched at short notice to assist. To sit back and just watch looters taking items home was a serious travesty of justice. Unlike the US's 9 Jan riots, where have we held anyone accountable yet? It bodes really badly for investment and private businesses (which impacts employment).

If we re-name July we wouldn't have July riots

Because borders dont exist.
And crossing them does not require certain documents.
And money.
Ok.
