WATCH: Unpacking the powder keg

A general view of burning trucks after violence erupted following the jailing of former South African President Jacob Zuma, in Durban, South Africa, July 14, 2021. REUTERS/Rogan WardRiots and looting continued for a fifth day as the government struggles to regain control of a situation that was sparked by the jailing of former president Jacob Zuma, but seems to have taken a more broad-based social and civil unrest tone, riddled with opportunism.

The JSE’s banking index plunged 4.45% on Tuesday, its worst one-day loss since December 2020 when the country was put into another strict lockdown during the height of the second wave of Covid-19.

Michael Avery is joined by Dr Miriam Altman, director of Altman Advisory and National Planning Commissioner; William Gumede, professor at the Wits School of Governance and chair of Democracy Works Foundation; Martin Kingston, chair of the steering committee of Business for SA; and Frans Cronje, director at the Centre for Risk Analysis to sift through the detritus of the past few days.
