“Since the unrest, a total of 234 deaths as related to the unrest were reported in KwaZulu-Natal to date,” a minister in the president’s office, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, said in a statement, adding that another 42 deaths were recorded in Gauteng province which includes Johannesburg. Police are investigating 168 of the deaths for murder. Some of the people died in stampedes or were crushed by falling objects, while others died in burning buildings.

The minister said “stability” had returned to the two provinces rocked by unprecedented violence in post-apartheid South Africa and that police were carrying out “mopping-up operations to ensure opportunistic and copycat activities do not find traction”. Rioting broke out a day after ex-president Jacob Zuma started serving a 15-month jail term for ignoring a corruption inquiry.

276 dead just because a former president is being tried for alleged corruption, jailed for contempt

Punch is busy reporting the accurate death rate in south Africa but if it's in Nigeria,the same punch would report just 6 people were killed and several injuries,in other to cover up government atrocities. Country of evil deeds.

You are dreaming, South South can't be part of Biafra - Edwin Clark tells IPOBElder statesman, Edwin Clark, has said that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is dreaming by including the South South states in map of Biafra. The Maybe south is your name, we are Biafra, stop deceiving yourself, you know much why didn't you save us from wicked Fulanies I thought this issue has been settled. We don't want SS to be part of Biafra. Why is he still talking about this? The Igbos want a homogeneous Igbo nation. As long as you do not annex Igbos in SS who want to be Biafra, we are cool. This s'south - s'east thing is getting young and old people mad. Why won't agitators of Biafra focus their struggle on igbos alone? Biafra will be easier when focused on s'east, the Ikweres in P'hacourt, the Aniomas in delta, the igbos in Koggi, Benue, c.river and A'ibom states
