In South Africa, supporters of former President Jacob Zuma are demanding his immediate release, and violent protests against his arrest have spread to other parts of the country.
At least 72 people have been killed so far in the violence. Authorities have deployed troops to quell violent protests that began last week. Police say they have identified 12 suspects who were inciting people to violence and riots.
Police say 1,234 people have been arrested so far. Violent protests have resulted in arson, roadblocks and looting of malls in large and some small towns. ۔
The country’s president has called the violence the worst in South Africa since 1990. When the former president was sent to jail last week, people initially took to the streets to protest against him, but then violence erupted and looting began.
The country was already in turmoil due to inequality and poverty, but the coronavirus has been salting the wounds and is now causing outrage.
Most affected areas
The highest death toll was 26 in KwaZulu-Natal and 19 in Guantanamo, according to state officials. A stampede broke out at Sweeto Shopping Mall on Monday, killing several people. Authorities say bodies have been recovered from the property.
What is the cause of violence and riots?
Former South African President Jacob Zuma has been sentenced to 15 months in prison in contempt of court case. He turned himself into prison officials after the protests began.
The court asked Zuma to appear in court to investigate a corruption case during his time, but he ignored the court’s ruling. Jacob Zuma is one of the leaders who campaigned hard against racism in the country and took an active part in the country’s struggle for independence.
In that sense, it is possible he did this, but his image has been tarnished and his supporters have protested. Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.
