Coming from KZN I know how tight knit the Zulu nation is. Also the large following Jacob Zuma has. This is a dangerous situation now.

At the heart of it, is the concept of a modern constitutional democracy "thrust" upon a traditional African feudal society. The Zulu people are the largest ethnic group in South Africa, totalling 10-12 million Zulus. Their Chief is Jacob Zuma. He is a traditionalist and unfamiliar with the concept of constitutionalism. So too his loyal subjects.
As you allude to, throw in lockdowns, rampant unemployment and poverty and you have a recipe for disaster

Two things to not overlook - and i am not saying they are the most important - but certainly substantial:
1) A big chunk of the "rioters" are simply criminals, who is using the opportunity to loot. As far as i can see, liquor stores are a prime target. The lockdown and ban on alcohol sales, is playing quite a role here.
2) The violence is incited by leaders who realise the jail is much closer than they ever thought. If JZ can go to jail, there is probably 100s now that is losing sleep in a big way.

your comrade, the president who is the leader of your party and was in charge for two terms, the person your people deemed was a hero and the best candidate for the job... your comrades have been doing a stellar job running this country to the ground post apartheid.
