'We haven't recovered': Umkomaas business owner still picking up the pieces after unrest

UMKOMAAS - It’s been a year since the incarceration of former President Jacob Zuma for defying a Constitutional Court order sparked unprecedented unrest in post-1994 South Africa.

During this period, crowds ransacked several businesses and public infrastructure, mainly in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, causing damage amounting to billions of rands. Some businesses there said that there was still a long road ahead before they get to pre-unrest levels.
