"It's A War Zone" - South Africa To Deploy 25,000 Troops As Country On Brink Of Civil War
CFP ^ | 7/15/2021 | CFP

Numerous video at link:

In the past seven days, South Africa has never come closer to becoming a failed state. The riotous looting has reduced Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the two provinces hit hard by the social unrest into what resembles warzones. The country quickly descended into what could be the beginning innings of a civil war, prompting the government to call up military reserves and seek deployment of up to 25,000 troops to quell the violence.

"It is a war zone . . . towns deserted, shops looted, bodies lying on the road," John Steenhuisen, leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance, in the province, told Financial Times. "We have an internal African National Congress battle that has spilled over on to the streets of KwaZulu-Natal . . . the initiative has been completely lost by the security services. They need urgent reinforcement."

Big media keep saying civil war. No. Once cops and soldiers start fighting each other it’s a civil war. Right now it’s just looting. Funny how big media wants to say it’s civil war or covid or climate change related. It’s looting.

“It is a war zone . . . towns deserted, shops looted, bodies lying on the road,”

Chicago, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Louisville, Atlanta etc.

Looks like Mostly Peaceful Protests to me.

Those pictures could be from any one of the mostly peaceful protests we had in the US last year?

Honest question. How many countries run by blacks are prosperous?

Good point. Civil war attracts viewers. Civil unrest or riots or looting would be more accurate.

I’m still looking for further information, but my guess is that YES, it is a civil war. Probably based on Tribal factions which are aligned with internal ANC political factions.

Tribalism in South Africa is far worse than Apartheid ever was.

With blacks on both sides of this “civil war” can anyone even imagine being a white in that hellhole?

Not our problem, but it it what they’re trying to set up here. These globalists (Marxists) won’t stop there.

In Uganda in the late 1970’s, I was safe(er) precisely because I was White. I had one warrior tell me about a conversation he had with his friend, after spotting me and my buddy a long way off.

“Hey, there are some strangers. Let’s go kill them and take what they have!”

“Those are wazungu (white people).”

“Oh, we can’t kill them.”

***Good thing they have Majority Rule now...................*****

Every time a Democrat or the lying media says we’re a “Democracy” I yell at the “clip”being played-—”we’re NOT a democracy-—we’re a Constitutional Representative Republic”!!

South Africa is what a Democracy looks like!
