Diverse South Africa Implodes

OpIndia:Indians face racist abuse online, threatened with rape and massacre as violence breaks out in South Africa

Troubling news has been coming from South Africa where violence has erupted following the arrest of former President Jacob Zuma on July 7. While looters and rioters are rampaging through the country, some of Indian origin and others who are White have come together to defend their properties through retaliation.

Consequently, Indians are facing racist abuse on social media platforms and the platforms are being used to further incite violence against Indians living in South Africa.

Early reports that the supply chains in the province of KwaZulu-Natal are completely destroyed.

The scenes out of South Africa aren't much different from the USA in 2020. The big difference is that the cities had police forces and stood by while the rioting and looting took place. In South Africa, authority broke down and the people began forming response squads. What will happen in the next round of U.S. riots? Will the defunded police forces be able to stop the violence? Will the police walk off the job? There is a thin line between civilization and chaos. Those who think "it can't happen here" should pay close attention to what happens in South Africa. It offers a stark warning for those playing ideological games with basic security.
