The Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business has questioned the use of socioeconomic inequalities as the reason behind the massive looting that took place during the July 12 unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.

“Standing in those businesses and watching what was sprayed on those walls, the “Free Zuma” and “Ramaphosa must go back to Venda” and expletives about white monopoly capital, the rhetoric was very clear that it had a distinctly political undertone and had more to do with power than anything else,” she said.

Venesse said the riots had created a trust deficit between business and the state, which would last for some time as businesses were left to fend for themselves. “The looting went on for days. People sat on the side of the road on top of their looted goods and waited for transport to arrive. There was no adequate response during and after the unrest,” she said

Lack of moral compass, plain and simple

Ag fok tog.

Ja riiiiiiiight! Sdsg

Call it what it was, a coup to protect Zuma and destabilise the country.

True it was pure criminality, mass criminality! People who protected their homes and businesses are heroes!

Criminality is entrenched in this country.

How stupid can you get? Extremely poor, (unequal) people in some Asian countries don’t steal. Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business are making excuses to try justify thievery. These thieves were stealing mainly appliances not food SunflowerSrina

Who takes a dump 💩💩 and burns property just bc of socio economic inequalities? These are just animals and thugs who liked to destroy. That is the simple truth. And SA need to accept that 🤷

Gosh, true that! Caused by? 🤯 Ja, the black, green & gold striped outfitted people ANCDudes I mean 1st their parents had to deal with supremacy NP or Nationalists Now, its just pure greed Guess what its not going to change for another decade or so 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think it's was wrong for looting 2 happen 2 businesses because this looting should have been directed to politicians who are main looters of our democracy rights, economic is poor but their banks balances are floating with tax money & bribes to support looters of our resources

Absolutely DEMON CYRIL Ramaphosa and the corrupt ANC don't like the truth . Their members are to blame period.

My 3 year old has been sleeping hungry for the past two days💔. I'm currently looking for employment and my family is suffering. Please assist us with any food you dont need or food nearing their expiry date. I'm a man yes but I'm a father too💔😔
