Text messages advising 'comrades' not to wear ANC regalia so they would not be identified during the unrest circulated in July, said S’bu Zikode of shack dwellers' movement Abahlali baseMjondolo.

“It took place step by step, from the expulsion of the mayor of eThekwini. It is our understanding she had very close ties to [Zuma]. That’s when things began to go wrong with the forces of one faction. Those aligned to [Zuma], one way or the other, had to stand in solidarity with the former president.

There is no doubt the majority of looters were/ are MYANC supporters, who knew they would be allowed to get away with mass looting

Sitole defiant over fitness to do the job despite police inaction in July unrestThe police did not have any intelligence on the July unrest before widespread looting and riots hit Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, says national commissioner Gen Khehla Sitole. Clearly incompetent. In other democracies, the chief of police would have fallen on their sword. We already know. Intelligence and ANC government is water and oil
