public hearings into the July unrest on Friday, Zikalala said: “In parts of KwaZulu-Natal [it] is noted as one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of our province, having led to massive destruction of infrastructure and the erosion of many of the gains in the economy over the recent years.”in KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng., Zikalala told the commission he was not briefed by crime intelligence about threats to the province.
He said the provincial government instead relied on social media, mainstream media and a pamphlet calling for a provincial shutdown. He said that on the same day, he pleaded with President Cyril Ramaphosa to deploy the army “to restore order”. Mapisa-Nqakula said she and the president decided on the evening of 10 July not yet to deploy the army.
He said he then escalated the matter and spoke to the secretary of defence, Sonto Kudjoe, and was told that more than 500 soldiers had arrived in the province. But, said Zikalala, “in reality, there were about 150 only”.
this will not be complete until DZumaSambudla and Duduzane__Zuma have made submissions after their utterance on Twitter sziks SAHRCommission make sure they appear.
