At least 117 persons have died and 1700 arrested in the unrest that has continued to rock South Africa for the eighth day.

Protests erupted last week Friday when former South African President Jacob Zuma, 79, turned himself in to authorities to serve a 15-month jail term for contempt of court. He had refused to appear at an anti-corruption commission to face several allegations, including bribery and fraud, which he has repeatedly denied.

However, the unrest widened into grievances over inequality and poverty

Aljazeera reports that more than 20,000 troops have been deployed to assist police in quelling week-long unrest, as the death toll soared to 117 people in the rioting and looting following the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma, authorities said on Thursday.

In one of the largest deployments of soldiers since the end of white minority rule in 1994, the government said 10,000 soldiers were on the streets by Thursday morning and the South African National Defence Force has also called up all of its reserve force of 12,000 troops.

In a show of force, a convoy of more than a dozen armoured personnel carriers brought soldiers on Thursday into Gauteng province, South Africa’s most populous, which includes the largest city, Johannesburg, and the executive capital, Pretoria.

Buses, trucks, aeroplanes and helicopters were also being used to move the large deployment of troops to trouble spots in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal province that have seen a week of violence in mainly poor areas.

Okay na

South Africans are always abusing Nigerians online.... Is there any page we can go troll them back because of this their barbaric behaviour?

Africa and the blacks is cursed!

Arresting Jacob Zuma was a terrible mistake, his people & supporters are seeing it as witch-hunt & oppression.
And na dem dey unleash these riots & destruction in South Africa.

This explains why ex presidents are never arrested/prosecuted/jailed in nigeria.
Just imagine if buhari arrested and jailed Jonathan for any reason, Niger delta militants would have destroyed nigeria by now.

WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT!!!

Africa,my Africa.

Why do we love self destruction.

We fight for our oppressors instead of fighting against them.

Jacob Zuma, after looting the future of south Africans,people are still supporting and loosing their lives for him.

The funny thing is that the children of these looters are always save,just like in Nigeria.

Our resident zombies over here are ready to die for their pay master's just because of peanut's they get from them.
On daily base's they receive insult's and curse everyday, while the children of their oppressors are chillin abroad. Its indeed a pity.

South Africa bad violent rioting

Lazy zulus

Some idiots just use this Zuma arrest as an opportunity to loot.

No need let them destroy the country ,

Okay

Babarians

Southy and fulani no different.. Just that Fulani no dey loot during riots they just go about killing people. SA will kill and still loot. Useless people

Eleyi gidi gan...This one is strong

Welcome development, talk to them in the language they understand

Useless people

Zulus, fulani, and BMC zombies have same mindset; tueh!!

Protesting is not the issue. The issue here is the looting and destruction. I feel for our brothers and sisters who do business in the affected place.

This is getting so serious day by day.

Any hoodlums that looted (or supporting hoodlums that looted) people's business images state during the last protest in Lagos and open mouth to condemn all their fellow criminals in SA.
NA Amadioha go chop una mouth finish.
Bunch of hypocrites.

Zuma is a goat.

Those killed in Nigeria in past 30 days are x 2 of this news.


Let us face our own killers.

There were also other black and white niggas manning their neighborhood with guns.
