But since YOU brought up race... how do you feel about these violent, destructive protests always involving blacks exclusively.

Its obviously got something to with Affirmative Action or BBBEE and its only available for previously disadvantaged people, ..... you know those words that replaced apartheid in 1994.

so to those that think killing protesters is a suitable solution here's a loaded question, would you still advocate that kind of response if the protesters where white?

They stopped being protesters the moment they started burning and destroying ****. They are now criminals.
 
ANC has caved in to their demands to remove the councillor. The other arrested peoples fate remain to be determined.

The community leaders said they were angry with the teargas, etc and burnt the factories.

And once again the criminals are rewarded for their criminal behaviour ensuring that the cycle repeats itself.

Yay South Africa! There truly is no place for people who want to build the country. You will just see your work torn down.

This kind of *** is one of many reasons I now live in the UK. Yeah, we have strikes here. But the difference is the train drivers don't set fire to the trains and tube stations.

Residents of Mandeni and African National Congress (ANC) leaders have agreed to a compromise, heeding the call to end the violence at Mandeni after a week of violence that left eight factories and other property destroyed with damage running into millions of rand.

The protest action not only destroyed properties but also threatened the livelihood of over 25 000 workers who rely on local industries for jobs.

The community was demanding the release of 117 people arrested during the week's violence and after much negotiation, ANC leaders have promised they will be released on Monday.

This is a day before they were to appear in court.

The community also wanted a local councillor removed from office.

Police presence will remain in the area until the situation has normalised.

How fscking stupid can you be to burn down a place that feeds you and your family. I hope the owners take the insurance money and fsck off. Rebuilding those factories would take months & there's no cashflow during the period. Why rebuild when it could happen again tomorrow.
 
Business owners start counting costs

Calm has eventually returned to the community living in Isithebe following a week of violence and vandalism which started on Monday morning.

Businesses, a school and a clinic were held ransom as a group of disgruntled residents went on the rampage, burning factories and vehicles in protest against a candidate on the ward councillor list.

The police charged 122 people for public violence, arson and malicious damage to property and they are expected to be released tomorrow. This was among the demands of the community to prevent further flare-ups.

Mandeni municipality mayor, Sphesihle Zulu, confirmed that they had acceded to the community’s demands.

Zulu had been part of the ANC delegation which met with the community on Friday.

He said he had been assured by the delegation leading the protest that the instability was over.

“To quell the situation we had to meet the community half way, after they demanded that we release the suspects.

They could have been released a few days ago but they have misinformed the court by submitting wrong addresses.”

The community was enraged after the former Mandeni mayor Bheki Magwaza was returned by the ANC as a candidate in Ward 11.

Magwaza had vacated his seat after a private forensic company investigated him on allegations of corruption.

Magwaza said he was not allowed to talk to the media and referred questions to the ANC spokesman, Mdumiseni Ntuli.
