Soldiers, police officers and community policing forum members go from door to door in Alexandra township, Johannesburg, to retrieve goods stolen by people during a week of looting and vandalism in Gauteng.“Can you imagine a better feeling than going to sleep knowing that when you wake up, you are going to have something to eat?”
Khulisa, which has been active in Alexandra for the past 20 years, was approached to help the battered community understand and come to grips with what happened. They partnered with the police to host peacemaking dialogue circles, which began on Wednesday and will continue for two weeks. “At first the looters were reluctant, but as soon as I told them that I was not trying to get them into trouble, that I just wanted to get to know them better and try to understand what they were thinking and hear their stories, they agreed,” Hlongwa said.
“I am not a criminal. But when I saw people looting the shops, I realised that they will be empty by morning and there will be nothing left. So I just felt: ‘Hey, this is my chance to have food.’ Starvation was my life, and I just wanted food,” said one of the participants who asked not to be named.
Bullshit
Massaging facts
Then the burning of the malls? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. Does it feeds the hunger?
Hunger n poverty will justify looting and creating more unemployment? Or it will justify the crime they committed?
Justifying aborted evil political mission with living conditions of the poor, very unfortunate
Kak. All Zuma supporters
Absolutely nonsense consensus. It so happens that two province's Zuma enjoy more support start to realise unemployment,hunger and poverty when he is jailed!
so these oke's with their audi and bmw's and rangers is all poor and hungry, mmmmm intresting wow
I still can't believe that real account manager exist I am so happy trading with shantelll_142 i never took her serious because I taught she was a scam like others ,until my first withdrawal of R60,000 within just one week of trading! I am so grateful 🤗🤗
Tears grips my heart knowing how long I’ve struggled to search for traders like MarkHarry212 . Even when he was introduced to me I wasn’t sure until after I several trades and impactful tutorials. Thank you MarkHarry212 because I’ll soon be trading for myself.
Looting of coffins ⚰️ & pharmacies about hunger & poverty? Definitely no.
why did it not happen in February this year, then? or next month?
You are hungry then you steal a tv and unemployed and burn shops::
People in Zuma faction clearly had a plan to destabilize the government. Poor people were used as tools for this purpose.. period
They’re missing the point. The poor and unemployed were used as a vehicle to achieve a far deeper, darker goal. And this has to do with forces within the ANC. How do you explain the burning down of afrox and theft of coffins
I think media is as confused about the root problem
Unfortunately it's the anc/alliance leadership's creation over the past 20years, it's power to the criminals and corrupt leadership
That is like impregnating school girls as a protest against over population
But we all know where it started..Zuma is now competing with apartheid President's amongst the worst of SA President's
Let us be clear. Let there be no gray areas. Looting was not about Zuma, unemployment, hunger or poverty. It was common thuggery, in which the elite took part with the Land Rovers and Mercedes Benzes. Organized, orchestrated.
The looting was because of instigators using poor people.
Criminals always use poverty n hunger as a justification
Contradictions...you say insurrection especially the media, you say criminality, you say treasonous elements kikikiki. Please continue your journalism in utopian world
Thanks to BBC NEWS cause ThumaMinaMediaGroup media group was never going to expose this root cause of unrest.

Former president Jacob Zuma arrives in Nkandla amid army presenceJacob Zuma arrived in Nkandla on Thursday to attend the funeral of his younger brother Michael. The special preference given to this man is beyond me! It's acts like these that make millions of South Africans not trust in our judiciary system. Once the funeral service is done, the criminal must go back to prison with immediate effect. He must feel that disrespecting the rule of law is a serious transgression.
