Crowds continue to clash with police and military in cities across South Africa, where at least 72 people have been killed, and more than 1,000 people have been arrested in the demonstrations, according to police. The protests, which marked their sixth day on Thursday, follow the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma for evading a mandatory inquiry related to corruption. The demonstrations have gained steam around the dire economic situation facing South Africans as the country battles the third wave of COVID-19.

Ive been folllowing this as well and was gonna make a thread but holy fuck, I do not know where to start. Basically Jacob Zuma being arrested triggered an outcry across South Africa and sparked a controversial movement with the people. Some say Jacob is corrupt and others see him as a hero.

This telegram channel has shared a lot of the things going on currently

Some say Jacob is corrupt and others see him as a hero.

It seems most of the ones that see him as a hero have been brainwashed by years of lies and catastrophic politics..
Friends from SA I talked about it with told me that finally justice was doing its job, Zuma fucked SA, and he should go to jail for way longer.

EDIT : If interested in a brief history of his past presidency, this seems to be a pretty objective source (a South African NGO) and well synthesized : https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/jac...2017-march

I am sorry for the death of the victim, I deeply regret the act that was made as if it was against the law.
