JULY UNREST | One year on, SA still doesn't know who masterminded the chaos

[rvZA]

A total of 354 deaths, R50 billion in damages, 150 000 jobs lost, and zero convictions.

The hope of justice for the families who lost loved ones in the riots that swept through KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in July last year has seemingly slipped out of reach, as cases go cold and prominent instigators remain untouched.

One year ago, former president Jacob Zuma handed himself over for imprisonment after being found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to appear before the Zondo Commission.

Zuma's incarceration at Estcourt Prison set in motion a series of destructive, coordinated events that threatened to rip South Africa apart. Despite the names of prominent politicians and intelligence operatives being mentioned in law enforcement circles, South Africans are none the wiser about who exactly masterminded the eight days of mayhem that threatened the country's stability.

As crime scenes decay, witnesses disappear and evidence vanishes, the truth slips out of reach.

I find this news article strange.

There was this last year:

Bheki Cele names 19 people for allegedly instigating July's devastating unrest​

The names of 19 people alleged to have instigated the July 2021 unrest have been released.

How do they not suddenly know who the Masterminds were? Was these people never prosecuted and jailed?

This is media propaganda and the government covering up the unrest making the public to be blamed instead.

Scary times... bad media houses in SA.

The top echelons of ANC probably know but don't want to cause a stink.

Those were probably just the foot soldiers. I'm inclined to believe the SSA was heavily involved. I may be wrong though.

Which would have been a great start for an investigation into the masterminds. If there was no evidence, they would have been the Masterminds. But, again, were they ever put on trial in court and sentenced to jail?

I do not accept that the country does not know who the Masterminds were. They knew back then and still do. We all do.

If the SSA was involved, and are the ones handling the matter...

 

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Nobody did it. Just like nobody is steeling the tax money, it just disappears in the black hole.

 

[My_King]

Heritage did

 

[Sarg3_ZN]

Heritage did

Yeah, its always ou Jan, that guy is always behind everything

 

[Hemi300c]

I like they way it's post apartheid...........
Never did anything of such magnitude occur in SA so it's the worst ever!

 

[ShaunSA]

Considering they were part of it I should hope they know

 

[My_King]

Yeah, its always ou Jan, that guy is always behind everything

no no, not my heritage, the looters heritage

Given how neighbourhoods and communities were vilified for resisting the unrest, I'd say the ANC Government are behind the riots.

Just like they are behind all the political killings and "accidental" deaths.

Yeah, seems like the stock standard civilian didn't get the roll-over-and-die memo..

 

[The Darkness]

The answer is a simple case of Occam's razor. It was the ANC who did this. It was their own internal insurrection. We know this, we all do. The answer as to why nothing has been done is simple: it was themselves, and their house of cards is stacked so high that they cannot do anything about it.
If you think I'm wrong, then let's go to the extreme here, and imagine there was evidence of this having been carried out by the residents of Orania. Think we'd still have no convictions, no news on it, nothing?

 

[darkevil]

It's obvious who instigated the riots.

That pesky Jan bloke.
Case closed.

"Unity And Renewal" and stuff like that.

 

[LCBXX]

I think the ANC were scared that the whole thing would escalate into civil war.

Not when private citizens have guns, unless criminals are supplied with weapons & ammo by the ANC government.

Which they are trying to do, TBH.

 

[PrimeSteak]

I'm inclined to believe the SSA was heavily involved.

I mean, if the SSA under Zuma could infiltrate and sabotage political parties, NGOs, and other movements, then I wouldn't put it past them to have been involved in the July Riots either.

Spot on.
