South Africa Riots: Preplanned?

From the BBC article.

“It is quite clear that all these incidents of unrest and looting were instigated – there were people who planned it and co-ordinated it,” Mr Ramaphosa said in a visit to KwaZulu-Natal, Mr Zuma’s home province and the epicentre of the violence.

Obviously the correct answer is “yes”.

But why? Why destroy such critical systems, infrastructure, and job creating zones like malls?
Think of how much gasoline you need to burn down a mall?
That’s not an easy “Grab your Bic Lighter” task.
Well, the answer is that this was a giant ground breaking ceremony.
Sans the golden shovel, ribbon cutting, and the applause.
A lot of interesting buildings were also destroyed; Including, but not limited to over 100 cell towers, chemical plants, warehouses, malls, damaged ports, grocers, and various other wealth generating critical economic pieces. Reportedly even the airport and some hospitals were attacked.
But guess what?
The current leaders of South Africa have plans for these areas.
So out with the old, and in with the new.
Gauteng was one of the epicenters for violence, and, conveniently, construction for the new 5G smart city is going to begin any day now. Presumably, right after they get done bulldozing all the old stuff out of the way, tossed in the garbage, and polished up for some surveyors to begin phase one of the smart city projects.

The other area, KZN (KwaZulu Natal) is also host to a future smart city and was a center for violence during this uprising.

Problem: Some Africans won’t sell and don’t want the Chinese smart city.
Reaction: Blame the arson and destruction of old systems (like cell phones, warehouses, and radio towers) on the guy who got arrested, Zuma.
Solution: Have you operatives magically attack everything that needs to be removed anyway.
Free demolition crew without those pesky union dues and labor rates… plus a fat insurance payout.
Pretty easy huh?
And they just saved millions on demolition by having the locals trash it, and clean it up for free.
I am sure our betters, who are in fact TOP men, are having a laugh about that.
This article below is from 2020. Gauteng is getting a serious makeover.

So is KZN.

Coming soon to an economic zone near you.

    Would this shock me, not in the least. The demographic in question has a track record of burning and looting at any excuse no matter how feeble, flimsy, or contrived. The fact that they did the do for “free” is irrelevant, and will be overlooked.

    Same in Minneapolis last year. Some regular liberals had maps showing the destruction was a developer’s dream. Rape and pillage for the 21st century.
    Reports from SA of blanket robo-calls to liven up the natives from ‘outside the country’.(Israel) Judging by the treatment of the denizens in Dubai – draconian covid measures etc. – these smart cities will be a miserable existence. I will take my chances with the rural backward deplorables dodging drones and robots. Terminator will be a documentary.

      Robocalls makes sense because they don’t have the same 4g/5g infrastructure that places like the U.S. or South Korea have.

    Excellent post. It reminds of another much more mild scenario where all the US protestors in 2020 got to burn down the tax-free economic investment zones around the US for our betters.
    After all, we wouldn’t want our mom and pop stores to stay open when a worker-less Amazon grocery can replace them.
    Considering the success of that campaign in the US and this one, I’d expect this tactic to be employed more in the US in the future.

      GREAT EYE!
      As I always say “The real genius and the real jokes are in the comments”

    I was attending a structural engineering refresher course, because of course we are required to have continuing education, like we are to irresponsible to do that on our own and keep our professional license with the state……anyways, likely the new homes for some of those people that are displaced will end up being stacked shipping containers. Yep, the end of the course was on how to properly build structurally homes out of stacked shipping containers. Was simply wonderful….not. And yes the leftist have even infiltrate the hierarchy in NSPE.

      That’s so unfortunate.

    If this is as organized and is international as some suspect, we are in deep doo.,
    Subverted national armed forces and/or paid private forces – trained and equipped to the nines.
    Working smarter is the only way through. If there is a way through.

    It’s always amusing to read something about Africa by people who have never been to Africa.

    Thanks for posting this. A real eye opener. I have relatives in Gauteng province, one cousin told me only two years ago that the writing was on the wall and they were looking at relocating . Bet they hurry things along now.

    Coming to a city near you?
    .
    The point? Stay away from cities.

      20 miles at least. By Ancient and Modern standards.
      Of course, now we have this thing called RAP Rounds in the wild. Rocket Assisted Projectiles. Those things are serious.
