CNN's David McKenzie reports from Soweto, South Africa, on the devastating aftereffects of looting and protests that took place in parts of the country. Protests erupted last week as former South African President Jacob Zuma, 79, turned himself in to authorities to serve a 15-month jail term for contempt of court. At least 72 have died in some of the worst violence the country has seen in years.

Ah yes destroy your own town
The leadership should of been deployed the military to save life’s and the country…poor leadership…should of came down with a iron fist…
The reason why the ANC(Mandela party) keeps getting voted because either to the ANC is too religously powerful or there’s no alternative party. Honestly the main opposition party DA has more minority votes than black votes.
The problem with the ANC is that it has communist roots
South Africa heavily depends on eco-tourism which was basically shut down all of last year. That money will dry up if tourists think it is unsafe.
He compares this to January 6th but not the Summer of Love total liberal bias we caused the destruction but now we want to fix it for you put me in power
Got any proof?
This may be the only real news cnn put out in 4 years.
This is what it would have sounded like if they were honestly talking about the Summer of Love here in the United States
@walker damn right
Robbing & Burning a City Center down does NOTHING for these people’s community! As if some of them are NOT protesting but, destroying the community ON PURPOSE!!
…
Sounds very BLM-esque.

We ran DNC styled policies for the last 27 years here in South Africa. Biden would be proud. Or who ever is in charge there. No one knows these days.
If Democrats are really the problem, then why does Detroit look so much different than New Hampshire? The answer is obvious
@Anon User The answer to that can land me a 3 year jail sentence. I’ll rather be careful. I can’t criticize culture only ideology.
The Dems would calll this “peaceful protests” or the result of “global warming”…hello Cuba.
@Anon User according to CNN it must be all that white privilege and systemic racism…
CNN supported this exact behaviour when it happened in America.
The Democrats hatred for America is clear and intentional

Ooofff why would you say something so controlling, yet so true
Yessir! Apparently South Africa doesn’t offer the same incentives as the DNC.
@Gcina Sandlana Last summer’s communist riots across America had zero to do with “social issues” and everything about free stuff and politicizing everything they could to harm the last administration.
I am confused by this reporting…. why the cnn don’t mention the corruption of Zuma???
Sad thing is we like myself who stay in South Africa and didn’t anticipate in the looting,will also suffer these after effects of these looting,the prizes of everything will be sky high again so freaking sad.
Sorry love ..
It is sad, but hold the ANC and Jacob Zuma accountable or it will just happen again…
It really is scary, if businesses can’t rebuild it creates a downward spiral. Less jobs, less money, less security, more hunger, more violence. This is the path to a Mad Max road warrior world.
The state was warned about this. We have unprecedented levels of unemployment, huge inequality and chronic poverty.
Let me not even mention the rampant corruption. Monies mean to assist the most vulnerable have been misappropriated.
We just can’t be civilized nowadays
Too much perceived inequality.
The hatred for Indians clearly seens by his voice..carry on atlast we will not suffer
learn how to take criticism, kiddo
@Yash Kashyap learn to accept criticism not hatred
South Africa sold a lot of their vaccines.
Apparently the “mostly peaceful protests” of the U.S. have been exported.
I’m pretty sure at this point that these people are on Pfizer payroll.
Me yesterday: dreaming of getting a ps5 by saving the money for 5yrs.
Me today: Aah..Ok.. Never mind. I can as well get it today for “free”
This Bremmer guy is just foolish and ignorant. South Africa post apartheid is an example of grave failure in leadership at the highest level and in the ANC. There is absolutely no comparison with January 6th. It is plain stupid to compare them. The current president is vastly incompetent so nothing will change, stop painting him as a saint, he is not!
Thank you! There is no Saint here.
No one should hide behind the name of mandela, those are past victories that are being recalled.
We haven’t tasted any victory in a while of at all…
Bremer is really ignorant. He is spreading a narrative which is not fruitful.
Truth be told…South Africa went to crap when apartheid ended
