1/ I started working on logging farm murders in South Africa via a visual Google Maps pin system in 2022 - here are the links, it is a work in progress. Select a pin for more info - swipe up if using your phone. The project will be completed and up to date soon!
During the July Riots of 2021, I was part of a multi-disciplinary team that was assisting all over Johannesburg. The below thread contains some of the information (highlights) I managed to find via old logs - not all info is 100% accurate.

2/
ShopRite liquor in Jewel City is hit. Mob estimated at +/- 3 500 people.
3/
An entire ATM is taken in Devland. Not looted - taken. Ripped from the wall.
A few pictures I took last year of a once working and prosperous train station on the West Rand in South Africa. Most of SA's train stations now look like this. Completely stripped out.
When you discuss the South African situation, you're a "racist". But how can one not see it happening? And then what, just accept it? Keep quiet?
(A short thread - in no specific order - that's been requested for a long time now.) Is this the future of the West?
