South African cities are currently engulfed in violent protests but many people have argued that it’s pure criminality. This comes after a video clip showing many people involved in looting a shopping mall possibly in KwaZulu-Natal or Gauteng.
Mzansi has experienced ugly scenes over the past weekend as angry members of the community were protesting to see former president Jacob Zuma released from prison. Although many social media users argue that the protesters are not really calling for Msholozi’s release, some say these are criminals in disguise.
Posted by @KulaniCool, the video clip has attracted massive reactions, some have lamented the acts and some people are supporting looting.

"Jesus isn't enough for this nation": SA reacts to zinc truck looters
Remaining with looting videos, Briefly News ran a story that a clip of some community members brazenly looting a stationary truck has been shared online by Twitter user, @advobarryroux. In the clip, the locals come out in large numbers to loot the truck, which was loaded with zinc sheets.
In the clip, the homes in the background appear to be made predominantly from zinc so undoubtedly, the looters were planning to either build or extend their shacks, which makes the entire looting an even more desperate situation.
