Death Toll Rises in South Africa Amid Looting and Violence
Jul 13, 2021
South African is facing its worst unrest in years as what initially had a political feel to it has snowballed into a citizen revolt.
From protests against the jailing of former President, Jacob Zuma, citizens have gone on a spree of looting in stores and malls in the KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng provinces.
As of Tuesday morning, the death toll has risen to more than 30, with heavy destruction of properties to accompany the violence — worst of its kind in years.
