Unrest

LAST week’s civil unrest was neither an insurrection nor an attempted coup. It was an orchestrated plan to hold the government to ransom, say experts.

Professor Lawrence Hamilton from the Wits University’s Department of Political Studies, Schools of Social Sciences, said: “It is one faction of the ANC or a group of supporters of the Zuma alliance that had always intended to cause unrest. This was a means of holding the government ransom if the court were to send Jacob Zuma to jail. There were inciters and organised events and also criminal networks involved,” Lawrence said. | IOL
