The SAHRC says the fact that the two happened at the same time was a mere coincidence. The unrest which started in KwaZulu-Natal and spread to other provinces including Gauteng happened at the same time that Zuma was jailed for contempt of court after he failed to appear before the Zondo Commission.

The SAHRC Commissioner Philile Ntuli released the report in Durban yesterday on their investigation into the unrest.

“And it was quite clear that from December 2020 up until the unrest there were various security threats,  red alerts as well as orange alerts,  on the security of the state, including protests against foreign nationals, including issues on the highways. The blockages of the N3 and the N2 by alleged groups linked to truck drivers.”
