It really is hard to fathom the destruction and what's to come. One good overall source I've found for collating information is the Times online.

https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/business/

I think a basic rundown of what I've seen is:

1. Remaining refinery is offline. Gas lines are enormous and either have or will take out the remaining supply on hand with no resupply from the offline refinery.

2. Durban is the largest port in southern Africa and (so I've read) the entrepot for 90% of trade into southern Africa. Durban has been destroyed in large part. The port is shut down. Refinery shut down as mentioned. Warehouse, malls, and retail looted. No way to restock those retail shelves.

3. The highway from Durban to Johannesburg is a rioting nightmare with trucks refusing to drive it. J'burg has also had huge looting and destruction of infrastructure. https://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/truck-drivers-bear-brunt-of-kwazulu-natal-protests-2d4d7bac-d0e2-4ddf-83e9-491aac7c84ef


4. Basic agricultural production is being affected. https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/agribusiness/all-kzn-sugar-mills-now-shut-after-cane-farms-set-alight-citrus-exports-halted-as-riots-rage-on-20210713

5. Pharmacies and a drug factory looted and burned. https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2021-07-14-90-pharmacies-lost-to-looting-sprees/

6. It's winter there and now snowing.

Hard to imagine this doesn't become an even greater nightmare.

Medical shortages will be an increasing problem.

Here's an overview with maps (Durban to J'Burg) of the supply-chain in South Africa. Good for context of what's being discussed.

As a poster mentioned a few pages ago, India has a history of foreign intervention to protect the Indian diaspora. Durban is just across the Indian Ocean. If it escalates into a full-on race war, India might send it's fleet to secure Durban as a safe zone for Indians.

We have a close friend that grew up in S Africa and my family was planning on taking a trip there with him next Summer. The friend was coming along to help show us around. I guess maybe that trip is out of the picture now....

Typical race based riot. "Lets go tear up all the **** owned by anybody who is actually productive because it feels good to destroy stuff!" 2 Months later: "This so so racist that nobody has any stores open in our neighborhoods! Food deserts are racist!"

They need to brush up on how to communicate their victimhood.

This is a long video but this guy gives a lot of insight as to what is going on in South Africa.

Fair warning he drops a lot of F-bombs.

He is married to a Chinese doctor and normally does videos about life in China and speaks with candor.

No. They have burned out enough stores so that poor people are going hungry now.

Does anyone actually believe that the Indians tried to start a race war in Africa?

Probably, but no reasonable, rational people believe that.

Thanks for sharing. The Indians are fighting back. At the 30:50 mark, he plays an audio clip of an Indian who is watching one of the looters die. Some serious hatred.

Listen to the 34 mark. It's exactly where we are headed with the Marxists in charge. We have lawlessness in the Federal government now. We have lawlessness at the DA levels, allowing criminals to run free and prosecuting those who try to protect themselves. It's nowhere near the SA level obviously, but it's the path we are on.

From the article " Rioters have appropriated food, electronic goods and medical supplies from at least 800 stores, and retailers have lost an estimated 5 billion rand ($339 million) to date, according to the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa, an unprecedented amount. " Hey Ace, I think the word your looking for is actually called " Looting ". More great reporting from American media.

Only idiots and lying South Africans. They have nothing to win and everything to loose in a race war. Yeah, 2.5 % of the population picking a fight with the other 92.5 %. They are the ones that have the businesses that will be burned down. The takers/parasites of society destroying the goods of the makers and the makers themselves. Amazing the lack of abstract thinking in these people to not see the misery they are bringing on themselves.
