*EDITOR’S NOTE: This is all a part of the agenda. Don’t play into it. Don’t harm others. Don’t steal from others. Rise above all of their games and refuse to play. Only then will the game end. Note that they will not allow anarchy. The term anarchy means “without rulers.” The term government means “control the mind.” Just to be clear, these people rioting want a ruler they just want their ruler to enslave everyone. There is an all-out attempt to confuse and make the public believe they must be slaves.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said Friday the riotous looting that transformed parts of the country into a warzone was planned, and his “government would not allow anarchy, mayhem” to continue as 25,000 troops have begun to deploy.
“It is quite clear that all these incidents of unrest and looting were instigated, there were people who planned it and coordinated it,” Ramaphosa said.
“We are going after them, we have identified a good number of them and, we will not allow anarchy and mayhem to just unfold in our country,” he told reporters while touring the KwaZulu-Natal province, more specifically, the port city Durban, one of the worst-hit areas by unrest.

So far, the president’s plan is working. Calm is returning to Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces.
According to the “Unrest Map” via PolicyLab, unrest across Johannesburg and Durban has dramatically subsided in the last day, either because the military is being deployed or the rioters have run out of stores and warehouses to loot as thousands of businesses were destroyed in the weeklong mayhem.
Ramaphosa also said he was concerned about rising racial tensions in some parts of the country. Between Monday and Wednesday, tensions among racial groups (Whites vs. Blacks; Indians vs. Blacks) flared up to near civil war levels during the height of the chaos.
Besides South African troops, at least 12,000 members of the reserve forces have been called up. The military shows strength as convoys of armored personnel carriers were spotted, moving towards Durban last night.
Top government officials are saying the deployment of the military has been the largest contributing factor in declining social unrest.
Crowds continue to clash with police and military in cities across South Africa and at least 117 people have been killed in the ongoing unrest as of Thursday, July 15, according to a briefing by Acting Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni.

Boots are on the ground.
With some law order restored, the rand strengthened on Friday, recovering some losses against the dollar sparked by the riots. The death toll is around 117, with thousands arrested.
If the president is right and the unrest was planned, the intentions of whoever organized the mass chaos had one objective: dismantle the country’s critical supply chains to create an economic collapse.
If my geography is correct, a nursery selling desert seeds is from KwaZulu-Natal province.
In a controversial news story, some of the owners had been fed to crocodiles.
I sent an image of generic, brown seed packets to a small farmer, in CA. Facebook’s AI was smart enough to block it.
Not memory-holed, quite yet:

Just an upsetting conspiracy theory:

My understanding is that whatsapp is a Facebook run thing.
My question is whether or not Facebook monitors and censors it is SA the same as in the US.
FWIW, I’m one of the few oddballs that doesn’t use social media, so I only know what I’ve read about it.
The SADF isn’t what it used to be. Back during Apartheid South Africa had one of the most effective fighting forces in the world “the boys in the bush” as they were called. They were fit, tough and equipped with unique weaponry developed during decades of embargoes.
Now, the SADF is just a bunch of unemployable goons who were absorbed into the force to buy off various ANC supporter groups. Take a look at them: fat, out of shape, barely able to hold their weapons.
