I’ve seen nothing on South Africa lately.
They recently had some rioting that were approaching near insurrection level. Then a news blackout of sorts, at least people stopped reporting what was going on.

Correct. Last I heard they had inflation problems and there were riots and looting.
The ruling ANC party keep a tight grip on things so that’s why we probably haven’t heard anything.
