I really don't understand how can u ruin something that helps u at the end of the day...this is just so sad what are these people teaching our kids it's so not fair
There you are correct. Thanks to the injustice of apartheid. I know an idiot will say, you cannot blame this on apartheid. CJ Mogoeng Mogeong said, the majority of the ills of this country are a direct impact of apartheid and if anyone tells you otherwise is mischievous.
@@MrEvansjethro thank you so much for pointing that out. It's about time this government takes responsibility for what they have done and are continuing to do! It's 27 years down the line.. This is all on the ANC!
That's it. I believe they are deliberately pushing the government to the tight corner so they make a major mistake like Marikana, and they will turn this into a civil war. The police and soldiers are very diplomatic. They are not looking for the government, they are looking for something bigger than this, the land looting issue.
My guy my cousin and I were having this conversation that if they arrest Zuma under the guise of justice a civil war could break out…..bheka manje🤦🏾♂️
Thank you all REPORTERS for risKING your lives to give is the latest updates. I Declare Matthew25V53 on every reporter out there in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
I wish as a country after coronavirus and all these bad things we could have united in stead of having another volatile situation because of a criminal.
Very true, but our Country is set up wrong fundamentally. Although it is beautiful. People from other Countries own our mines, resources and land. The mines also own houses and might I add a lot of them. In my opinion government housing could have grown leaps and bounds by now if it was implemented to house the have nots. The youth that have been to college are not getting jobs. I also think there is a misconception on both sides that the haves have a lot when really it is 5 people in one household paying the rent and buying food, also living on paycheck to paycheck only buying chuck and pap to get through the month. No one person is better than another we all struggle privately. The system has been failing for a while now and I get the feeling all of us are just not sure where to go from here on out.
People actually dont get satisfied from immidiate gratification....its deeper then that...and no they wont get punished for it wake up....if immidiate karma return would take place none of our ancestors would survive......
Not recognising crime for what it is, is how we got here. Zuma played games for how many years and got away with it. They are just following their leader.
I'm embarrassed to identify as South African, there is no connection between this and Zuma arrest. Stop this , the Country is struggling already why make things worse. Kudos to Reporter and Cameramen Japan
it's either that or get stabbed by able bodied strong thugs and ruffians. Police and people get murdered in SA like it's part n parcel. These guys need a police state and very hard punishment. Clean up the murderers and brutal criminals. There's too many.
More poverty, unemployment, crime, emigration, price increases, closing down of businesses, worse municipal and other govt services and increase in Covid infections and deaths.
No ones going to create businesses around those people.. they will no how to go to neighborhoods that don't look like them to shop. And of course they will be security guards Watchung their every step
Chriselda Lewis my favourite doing what she does best, very passionate about her job in the most volatile of situations yet bringing her A game. You are appreciated sisi!
The camera man & reporter are so brave. It's jst sad that people are using Zuma's excuse to steal. This has got nothing to do with Zuma. Watching from warm heart of Africa Malawi.
Thank you Chriselda Lewis for possibly risking your life to show us the absolute disgusting behaviour of people who are taking advantage of the situation.
If investors leave south africa lam sure south Africans will feel the heat, to all clowns who always says foreigners in south Africa are bad, now it is time for you to see who is bad.
@@Mowizzy1 l dont think so because looking at what is happening and getting information from the ground, foreigners are the ones who are getting affected more because their businesses are being looted and burned down for no reasons. Shopping malls belongs to non south africans and look what is happening. Only one black man (Richard maponya) owns 1 shopping mall and the rest belongs to white people who are non south Africans and l dont think they are happy to see what is going on right now.
They beat people and arrest surfers for not wearing masks, but these thieves they leave to loot. Zuma should be charged for his part in this. This is pure thievery and hooliganism. If these people can be this violent then the police should be allowed to defend themselves with proper force.
The amount of damage here is unbelievable, some of the shops here are owned by our very own balck brothers & sisters who the politicians say they are fighting for and many wont be able to get back on their feet after such an unfortunate event. this is bad, my heart is sad
My heart is breaking watching what is happening to our country. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes and so much pain in my heart. How many are gonna be unemployed due to this ignorant people and how much more must our economy have to suffer. We economy has already suffered due to the Pandemic what more.. We the honest hard working people that try our best to keep a roof over our family's heads and food on the table are the ones that suffer. Is there truly no one in this country that can put an end to all this. People take advantage of this situations.. its so scary and i honestly considering to leave this country for the sake of my kids.
Reality will set in just a few days after this foolish behavior.How many people will be living in abject poverty??? Zuma will never sleep on any empty stomach 😒. Even those who mobilized these criminals will never sleep hungry and will never participate in these foolish acts.
This is heart breaking. All those looted shops represent a place where people used to be employed. It will take time rebuild and that's if business owners choose to and are able to rebuild. What is going to happen to all those people who will have lost their places of work overnight through no fault of their own in most cases? These places also represented the proximity to amenities for many. Where do they go now? The sad part is that it will be the same communities that will have to live with the effects of what is happening right now. We all know that government is not going to come and rescue these communities. They've failed to do much for them over the decades and there is no indication that they will begin to do so now. A few hours of pure criminal destruction is going to haunt people for a long time to come.
The sense of being entitled is what is driving this madness. What is heartbreaking is the number of women and children partaking in this looting. What are we really teaching our youth??
Big respect to this journalist and operator (who filming). They truly professionals. They doing big thing: make documentary of what really going on. This is help next time to avoid speculations of facts what it was really and how was been. ... Be careful and after see self and journalist and camera man (operator)
It's so painful indeed.I never thought the situation would be so intense.I thought the government leaders would attend to this crisis sooner before it escalate. Worse indeed.
The gov is keeping their 2m Covid distance and the country is struggling to survive. This lady is definitely doing 'on the ground' reporting she is trying her best to breath in this marathon. Well done girl be safe🤗🤗
This is so reminiscent of 1986...curfews, lockdowns, shootings, lootings...this is crazy. It is a shame that Zuma is associated with hooligans who commit such violence and lawlessness....in his name...what a pity...The army will be called in next....Oh Lord have mercy
Hool8gans who lost their jobs, are under lockdown regulatio s that have no plan on how we can keep the economy growing, but also not in the hands of a few, you speaking about those hooligans?
Zuma looted our country while he he was president. He led by example. Now the community is doing the same. Jacob Zuma is a disgrace to the Zulu people, I don't know why they support him. Zuma disgraced himself and the whole south Africa.
Please response to the looting in terms of number officers deployed, reaction time, and the actual conduct of the response of the officers, that is what encourages the looters, Police action is not decisive. It doesn't show that the police is in charge of anything
The moral leaders, elders and moral instances of the community need to come together to stop the chaos and the misbehaviour. This is only hurting the community!

A total disgrace!!!!!!Now i understand why people leave this beautiful country.

how are these people destroying their own shopping centres ?🤦🏾♀️
They not going to suffer
They want to be unemployed

So much respect for journalist always in the front line covering stories - Covid or Violent protests
This isn't protesting. Looting is stealing. I wish people could focus on building not destroying.
this lady is a SOLDIER. an actual on the ground report!
This is disgusting, shame South Africa.
Be more disgusted at leadership
Ramaphosa,Ruppert and Oppenheimer cause this s@#$t
Why are they always called protesters. This is not protesting. This is thieving. Its a sin.

Which part is that?
They should let the people they arrested clean up, rebuild..... community service
First Haiti, then Cuba and now South Africa. The world is coming undone at the seams

Exactly. And prizes will increase as shops fail to supply sufficient stocks. Cz let's be honest, Covid-19 has ruined businesses over here
You think this about Zuma? These are just criminals
Credit to Japan Mathebula for an outstanding job! Well done to the entire team! 👏🏾 Keep Safe 😷
cops showing restraint that's a joke. They stood by and did nothing.
Typical south african police
At least Gauteng police are trying KZN police was looting
Some are busy looting
I respect the reporter. Big up madam you're brave.
Reporter is on fire!
So if a shop is looted and ravaged the best question out ask is when are you going to open again
How many people will now loose their jobs because of all the businesses they have burned?
This is heart breaking. All those looted shops represent a place where people used to be employed. It will take time rebuild and that's if business owners choose to and are able to rebuild.
What is going to happen to all those people who will have lost their places of work overnight through no fault of their own in most cases?
These places also represented the proximity to amenities for many. Where do they go now?
