@@sebastiaodeabreu7297 obviously the ones in the video may not be. But I’m not one to forgive actions because of difficult times. I was raised in poverty. Everyone I knew was poor. We didn’t loot because we were hungry or wanted a new pair of Nike’s. I waited to grow up and forge a better life. Unfortunately if you live amongst those who are capable of destroying the world around you. You will suffer along with them. This didn’t just happen down there. This has been brewing for decades. The atrocities have been going on unabated and this is the result of societal breakdown.
One of the saddest aspects of this political situation is that the African people, the Zulus will support and stick up for their leaders people like Zuma but they never realise those leaders don't give a damn about them. The people remain where they are; poor, desperate, uneducated and they gain nothing. Even worse than not gaining anything, they lose what little they may have. Then again when you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. Hopefully justice will prevail.

@@sakurakou2009 That is the point. If you destroy a business, it won't supply you. These will become retail deserts, higher prices for surviving business.
All the economist talks about is social security, which does have its place, but he says nothing about structural reforms which would encourage the creation of business.
Exactly. And as human beings, we can never put our lives on the line for what does not belong to us. Same reason why even most security guards will just step aside when something like this happens. The communoty must be involved in the conomic recovery and have an actual stake in it.
Whilst business should be enhanced and bureaucracy reduced, business cannot reach competitiveness in widespread scale in a global economy without social security. It takes a third eye to understand this.
I am sorry to disagree with the economist on social grants, but give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, teach a man to fish and he will be fed for a lifetime. You would also be building a completely dependent society.
People on the ground say the looters are very well organised, turning up in caravans of trucks, deliberately destroying infrastructure, arson. Its not about hunger, it's about anarchy and ousting business owners and land owners. People who don't have honest jobs tearing down those that do.
These reports are missing that many of us are rebuilding as the flames of insurrection is still burning around us. The instigators are trying to drive wedges between communities and create as much instability as they can but it won't work. South Africa is coming back from this stronger than before.
I don't understand destroying your local jobs and infrastructure. I do understand anger and frustration, but not destroying things you actually need. This isn't the answer. Help your people!!
These isn’t the worst since “Apartheid”, This level of violence wouldn’t have been tolerated in the 80's. The fact is that the ANC is their own worst enemy. The poverty percentages were lower under white government. I was there.

@@auapc2441 are you one of looter 🤷🏻♂️ May be one day when you are looted out all the years of work , you will understand. It's not about meterial , it's about one's life work gone in flames or robbed.
People destroying their own country and sowing the seeds of their own demise.. if you can't eat then get together with your community and start growing food. looting will only make the pandemic worse and the food security situation worse for everyone. I fell sorry for the elderly and the small children who weren't involved in the looting but will end up suffering the most because of it. I also feel sorry for the farmers who are growing food to feed the people but who will also most likely be blamed for the economic crisis just so that looters can take their land like what happened in Zimbabwe.
There are many projects like what you are talking about. Many communities are lifting themselves out of poverty. As some communities are still fighting the insurrectionist, they are rebuilding already. Radical elements tried and failed to force a change in leadership, leadership that is rebuilding after 9 wasted years under Zuma. This is a patronage network - built during the previous administration- realising the justice system is closing in on them. So they are staging an insurrection by exploiting the poor. But the insurrection is failing because too many South Africans are standing up and saying no. A country that is heading for a demise will not show a steady improvement in its currency, capital inflows days into an insurrection.
A lot of Africas problems are cultural. It's impossible in large parts of Africa to save and invest. Malawi is an excellent test case. They had a famine and the government handed out (at no expense to the farmer) NPK fertilizer; and against the wishes of European greentards; the next year they had massive crop surplusses and exported food. The year after that they did not hand out fertilizer and no farmers saved money and invested in NPK fertilizer. Why? Well if you have money and your family needs money, you can't say "no no no; I need to invest this in fertilizer next year", you will get completely disowned if you don't do whatever short-sighted nonsense your family needs. So what was the money spent on? It was largely spent on hookers and booze, because if you blow the money away as quickly as possible you can capture the whole benefit without giving anything to your family and when they say "we need ", you can't, you don't have any money. Large parts of Africa are *that* culturally retarded and it's not fixable from the outside. They have to want to do it themselves or nothing will change.
I find it odd,so much anger you have over a few crumbs of bread and some cheap flat screens,but no anger over 15 billion dollars of gold stolen from Africa, hypocrisy at its finest.
the ppl that own the stores will just move out/abandon the store... ... dont have big time insurance like they did in minneapolis... $500 MILLION and counting in minneapolis and that is prolly a conservative #.
South Africa has never been as United as we are at this stage. In our diversity we all cleaned up together. Spread some of that instead of just doom and gloom 😡
@Jak świat się kręci. We follow international norms and standards. We have to do so more stringently than developed nations since our credit ratings are not as good. For government and firms to secure funding from international financial institutions a higher level of transparency needs to afforded. On your second point you are right (although right now things are looking very peachy for mineral exports, thats one of the reasons why the ZAR Rand has not seen a knock form this insurrection). The South African formal economy grows steadily, but structural problems in the economy (lack of certain skills) is causing bottlenecks. We simply can't train enough engineers etc to keep up with demand. But there is money to attract these skills from abroad. The public schooling system has not been able to produce high enough levels in STEM, but low-fee private schools are quickly turning things around. There are plenty of people who work hard, especially when the renumeration is proper. When employers are unwilling to pay a living wage and then complain about productivity it's not difficult to see where the problem is.
The guys with the guns don't look like they've missed a single meal. Another reason not to let politicians trample our 2nd amendment GOD given right to self-protection.
The corruption of the ruling party has been public knowledge in media since 1994 yet still the masses have kept them in power at the ballot boxes, you get what you vote for I guess
Basic income will bankrupt the nation. The immediate need is jobs. Do infrastructure. Power, roads. Make people want those work shoes. The last thing that will work is a basic income.

SOUNDS REASONABLE....
It's a mob, very few in the mob are actually thinking they're just going with the flow of their equally mindless mob neighbours.
They're stealing because everyone else is stealing. What they steal is only as relevant as whether it matches or out does the rest of the mob.

we in durban now, on the outskirts. this is horrific. to see and feel and be in...... we all very scared and worried and uncertain an have no idea..... what is going on. Zuma is in jail when he should have been fined. the president is a wet blanket. there is no police no army presence, they come for camera and go. people are not hungry as a. majority, here abyway and the looters of the warehouse arrived in audis and Ford rangers with trailers.... the pedestrians came later. lockdown has to stop...... especially now because they are kot helping with income and just close shops and restaurants and no grant, no uif and nothing to help those people who rely on daily income. many are unemployed and its hard for the average man to help be cause we alps just tryibg to stay alive and help as much. when we get past this. if we are still alive, I don't know what will be left. sadly. the people here are divided racially, and that doesn't help. people still live with no running water, down the road from mansions..... and if you try to help, it seems so pointless. and after this...... covid...... it will hopefully not spread here because a lot of clinics are gone now. blood banks looted.... and we are not vaccinated

@@sakurakou2009 That is the point. If you destroy a business, it won't supply you. These will become retail deserts, higher prices for surviving business.
All the economist talks about is social security, which does have its place, but he says nothing about structural reforms which would encourage the creation of business.
Exactly. And as human beings, we can never put our lives on the line for what does not belong to us. Same reason why even most security guards will just step aside when something like this happens. The communoty must be involved in the conomic recovery and have an actual stake in it.
Who is going to pay for social security? Most everyone's workplace is now destroyed!!!
@@thommysides4616 True. Probably borrow the money. That's what usually happens.
Whilst business should be enhanced and bureaucracy reduced, business cannot reach competitiveness in widespread scale in a global economy without social security. It takes a third eye to understand this.

I am sorry to disagree with the economist on social grants, but give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, teach a man to fish and he will be fed for a lifetime. You would also be building a completely dependent society.
Agree with you, stop feeding Africa is time for them to learn to be self sufficient
Give a man a 4K TV and you satisfy him for a day. Teach a man to loot a 4K TV and he will be satisfied for a lifetime.
People on the ground say the looters are very well organised, turning up in caravans of trucks, deliberately destroying infrastructure, arson. Its not about hunger, it's about anarchy and ousting business owners and land owners. People who don't have honest jobs tearing down those that do.
They are always organized
Our society is struggling, quick let's destroy what's left instead of rebuilding, cooperating, and taking care of your loved ones and neighbors.
These reports are missing that many of us are rebuilding as the flames of insurrection is still burning around us. The instigators are trying to drive wedges between communities and create as much instability as they can but it won't work. South Africa is coming back from this stronger than before.

These isn’t the worst since “Apartheid”, This level of violence wouldn’t have been tolerated in the 80's. The fact is that the ANC is their own worst enemy. The poverty percentages were lower under white government. I was there.

Would make a huge franchise: „South Africa: Among thieves“
Apartheid is well and alive in South Africa. Truth and reconciliation is not worth the paper it is written on.
People destroying their own country and sowing the seeds of their own demise.. if you can't eat then get together with your community and start growing food. looting will only make the pandemic worse and the food security situation worse for everyone.
I fell sorry for the elderly and the small children who weren't involved in the looting but will end up suffering the most because of it.
I also feel sorry for the farmers who are growing food to feed the people but who will also most likely be blamed for the economic crisis just so that looters can take their land like what happened in Zimbabwe.
There are many projects like what you are talking about. Many communities are lifting themselves out of poverty. As some communities are still fighting the insurrectionist, they are rebuilding already. Radical elements tried and failed to force a change in leadership, leadership that is rebuilding after 9 wasted years under Zuma. This is a patronage network - built during the previous administration- realising the justice system is closing in on them. So they are staging an insurrection by exploiting the poor. But the insurrection is failing because too many South Africans are standing up and saying no. A country that is heading for a demise will not show a steady improvement in its currency, capital inflows days into an insurrection.
Well, they are slaughtering the farmers and taking their land so....
A lot of Africas problems are cultural. It's impossible in large parts of Africa to save and invest. Malawi is an excellent test case. They had a famine and the government handed out (at no expense to the farmer) NPK fertilizer; and against the wishes of European greentards; the next year they had massive crop surplusses and exported food. The year after that they did not hand out fertilizer and no farmers saved money and invested in NPK fertilizer. Why? Well if you have money and your family needs money, you can't say "no no no; I need to invest this in fertilizer next year", you will get completely disowned if you don't do whatever short-sighted nonsense your family needs. So what was the money spent on? It was largely spent on hookers and booze, because if you blow the money away as quickly as possible you can capture the whole benefit without giving anything to your family and when they say "we need ", you can't, you don't have any money.
Large parts of Africa are *that* culturally retarded and it's not fixable from the outside. They have to want to do it themselves or nothing will change.
@@KellyS_77 exactly and it didn't make the news much did it?

@Jak świat się kręci. We follow international norms and standards. We have to do so more stringently than developed nations since our credit ratings are not as good. For government and firms to secure funding from international financial institutions a higher level of transparency needs to afforded.
On your second point you are right (although right now things are looking very peachy for mineral exports, thats one of the reasons why the ZAR Rand has not seen a knock form this insurrection). The South African formal economy grows steadily, but structural problems in the economy (lack of certain skills) is causing bottlenecks. We simply can't train enough engineers etc to keep up with demand. But there is money to attract these skills from abroad. The public schooling system has not been able to produce high enough levels in STEM, but low-fee private schools are quickly turning things around. There are plenty of people who work hard, especially when the renumeration is proper. When employers are unwilling to pay a living wage and then complain about productivity it's not difficult to see where the problem is.
The guys with the guns don't look like they've missed a single meal. Another reason not to let politicians trample our 2nd amendment GOD given right to self-protection.
People are sick of corruption , inequality and being poor with no opportunities and it is all over the world. Sick of the greed myself.
Ok, but why didn’t the looter raid jewelry stores and businesses that profit off the subjugation of the poor, instead of small businesses?
