This all started due to people not having shelter, food, water or jobs. Corruption was the main catalyst for this to happen. That money could've been used to aid these people in need.
Zuma was the final straw & now everyone is going batshit.
P. S. Watch the video. Comic relief that is needed.
Edit: To clarify, everyone is looting. I saw a video of a guy loading his Merc up with merchandise.
alright yall here's what's going on in South Africa. where I live.
some Zuma supporters are throwing big hissy fits bc he finally got arrested and are now making the streets very dangerous.
a group of idiots released wild animals from the zoo who are now going towards the protestors.
on top of all this there's a bunch of looters who thought it would be a good idea to reenact The Purge, so now Witbank is a big mess.
so uh yeah
stay safe out there
Yet to Come is such a beautiful song. I love all of the references to previous music videos.
Kingo is an army and you can not convince me otherwise.
No one will ever do it like you. You will forever be one of the drivers that i love the most and that the people love the most, you will always be the driver that thousands look up to, and you will always be the driver that inspires everyone to be their best. I’m happy with your decision as long as you’re comfortable and happy, and you’re right, there’s a life off-track and i know you will enjoy it. You’ve had an amazing journey in Formula 1 and it’s been amazing to keep up with you. Good luck Seb, we love and appreciate you❤️.
BABE WAKE UP THEY CAST PERCY JACKSON
I started watching kdramas yesterday. I binged unforgettable love and now I'm addicted.
Currently watching goblin. Absolutely heartwrenching. I am crying my eyes out and I am not even halfway in the drama yet.
Rewatching Moon lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo with my sister while she watches it for the first time. 3 episodes in and her reactions to the whole triangle has me laughing on the floor. Also her being proud for 5 minutes when Hae Soo follows the advice she screams at the screen. It's been a journey.
Reblog.
I have ever been this scared in my life. This really is a living horror movie.
Please pray for South Africa.
And reblog to spread awareness.
This all started with the ex-president of South Africa (Jacob Zuma) being found guilty of crimes (he has committed so many, I’m not even sure which one he was convicted of), and thus being sentenced to 15 months in prison.
This man, who has robbed South Africa of millions and quite possibly billions, willingly handed himself over to the Estcourt Correctional Facility, which is in the province of KwaZulu Natal, more commonly known as KZN.
Pro-Zuma supporters have taken to the streets of KZN (and for some reason Gauteng - another province in South Africa), and begun protesting on the 11th of July 2021.
These protests quickly escalated from harmless actions, to burning trucks on national roads and endangering innocent people’s lives. By blocking and barricading the roads, essential services such as ambulances could not pass through to save citizens.
If that wasn’t bad enough, protesters quickly decided that this was not enough.
Protesters then took to the CBD of cities and began looting the establishments. I’ve seen videos of people walking out stores with an entire TV. They’re taking fridges, freezers, just anything they can get their hands on.
Somehow, looting establishments still isn’t enough.
The Pro-Zuma supporters - now it isn’t just them, it’s anyone who wants to join in on the looting - have taken to raiding residential areas. The citizens of South Africa have taken to defending themselves, because the police are either outnumbered, or they partake in the looting themselves.
The looters and the citizens are basically at war with one another, which has resulted in nights of continuous gunshots, and at least 10 people dead, with many, many more injured.
This isn’t even about Zuma anymore - it’s about looting just for the heck of it. There is a way, a place, and a time to protest and, yes, it is your right as a South African. But when you’re endangering innocent peoples lives, it’s time you rethink your actions.
The time to protest like this is NOT during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially not if the looters are going around with no masks, and probably no vaccines. Only about 4.9 million South Africans have gotten the vaccine, and the population is estimated to be 59 million. That’s less than 10% of the population vaccinated.
I honestly don’t know what more to say, other than please pray for South Africa. Please raise awareness, because almost no international news outlets are going to cover this.
I’ll be posting any updates in the comments.
I read or heard somewhere that this song is actually about vampires and I wish I could unlearn that fact.
Chaotic. This blog represents the enigma that is me. Coffee gremlin.
