There was a doco made by Lauren Southern,
It says the riots and murders go back years, often daily, across the country.
This is nothing new.

It's basically private security and armed citizens defending their neighbourhoods, cops don't do much, some even joining the looting. It's but a more extreme version of daily happenings there.
I don't have the full story myself. It depends on what part of the country we are talking about.
But yes, there are riots, and marching, and looting. Always when blacks protest about something, some of them see it as a chance to grab some free loot.
From what I understand, yes, it's Zuma supporters going apeshit over him finally being sent to jail.
I think there's a background level of frustration about a lot of other things though. The prolonged lockdown and the harm to human well-being it's caused as an obvious context.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
They took all the store's shit there.
"Could hunger be the cause of the looting?"
Zulus don't eat furniture, or electronics.
But I certainly think that the economic hardship imposed by the prolonged lockdown is a factor.

If they're smart they can sell it on the black market.
But why would you buy something from someone when you could just go and get one for free from the shop?

“Flood your nation with Chinese PMCs using this one trick…”
Man passive-aggressively calls for race war. It won’t be long now.
“Our people didn’t not kill or beat up anyone” nice freudian slip.

Some shit you steal is just outright useless but still valuable to others for US dollars.
As people can see... this is getting racial. Zulus vs the other tribes, and blacks vs other races.
In part, because shops and businesses in this country tend to be owned and run by Whites, or Chinese, or Indians, or often Africans from outside of South Africa.
I bought a nice leather wallet once from a street-trader who said he was from Ghana. Nowadays such people tend to be a lot more reticent about where they're from. For good reason.

The South African Armed Forces needs to up the ante even further by cracking down on these looters, hunt them down & aggressively shut them up.

Aren't they good enough being intimidating?

War has no rules? That’s news to me.
Saying there’s no rules in war is such an ignorant horrible Pandora’s box to open. That’s what blows my mind about some of these people they think that the end justifies the means and start the race to the bottom they’ll just keep escalating the situation.

Accelerationist terrorism in SA. This will force more people into looting other areas for water.
