HELL ON EARTH: MILITIAS armed with rifles in South Africa are guarding against looters as the worst violence since the end of apartheid leaves 75 dead.

The impromptu militia vigilantes have stepped into the vacuum left by a police force hopelessly overstretched by the spiralling chaos that seen deadly stampedes and a hospital torched.

Rioting has sparked by the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma last week for failing to appear at a corruption inquiry. But this has now widened into looting and an outpouring of general anger over poverty has plagues the country 27 years after the end of apartheid.

Ten people were trampled to death during a stampede at a looted shopping mall in Soweto, Johannesburg.

And footage shared on social media appeared to show the Lenmed Hospital in Durban in flames.

Other videos showed shopkeepers opening fire on a crowd of looters.

Meanwhile, South Africa's largest refinery SAPREF in Durban has been temporarily shut down due to the unrest and supermarkets haves shuttered, sparking fears of fuel and food shortages.

CITIZENS FORM 'DEFENCE SQUADS'

Police and military eventually responded to the chaos, firing stun grenades and rubber bullets to try to halt the unrest


But authorities are drastically overstretched and scared South Africans have been forming "defence squads" to guard homes and businesses.

Resident Pierre Gildenhuys told the Daily Telegraph: "These guys are doing an amazing job.

"Without these defence lines that they set up yesterday the situation could have been infinitely worse."

Shopping malls and warehouses have been ransacked or set ablaze in several cities, mostly in Zuma's home in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province to the country's biggest city Johannesburg and surrounding Gauteng province.

Overnight the turmoil spread to two other provinces — Mpumalanga, just east of Gauteng, and Northern Cape, police said in a statement.

Lawlessness, anarchy, looting , killings, Heartlessness, Rebellion and all sorts of evils have become the order of the day all over the world.

If you Eyes are opened, you will see Clearly that the world is Falling into the Hands of the Man of lawlessness a.k.a the antichrist.
The antichrist is raging to take over the world.
Top Preparation are being put in place to usher him in.

Infact I Believe he is already on the wings, Just waiting for his moment.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the RAPTURE which could Happen at Moment is the trigger.

There is no More time Folks. Look all round the world and see that there is no more time.

Now is the Appointed time to repent and Surrender completely to JESUS Christ.
Now is the Appointed time to be reconciled with GOD through JESUS Christ..

Remember, that Breath in you now is not in your Power. It could be taken away at anytime.
