The inequality between the wealthiest people and the poorest is what should be the greatest concern.
Looters run from police in Alexandra during the looting and unrest experienced across Gauteng on 12 July 2021.
For about a week in July last year, South Africans came face-to-face with anarchy.
The country got a glimpse of what would happen if an Arab Spring type of uprising was to happen here.
The result would be mayhem.
Add to that violent deaths, a racial war as was seen in Phoenix and the destruction of infrastructure.
So, all right-thinking and law-abiding South Africans should be overjoyed at the arrest of the more than 20 instigators of the deadly riots that followed former president Jacob Zuma’s incarceration, following his contempt of court charge for walking out of the Zondo commission.
