eNCA journalists reflect on chaos, looting & reporting from the frontlines
The July Unrest occurred in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, from 9 to 18 July 2021. The protests were sparked by the arrest and incarceration of former President Jacob Zuma. The protests quickly escalated resulting in looting, rioting, rise in racial tensions, damage to property, violence and the deaths of more than 350 people. It is estimated that the July unrest also caused more than R50 billion in damage to the South African economy. eNCA Senior Reporter Dasen Thathiah and eNCA Camera Operator Nkanyiso Mdlalose were there, reporting from the frontlines. In the video below, they both reflect on the life-changing experience four years on. A Reporter's Reflection of The July 2021 Unrest – Four Years On By Dasen Thathiah The term "unrest" is such a misnomer. Sure, for anyone who wasn't there, it works. A public disturbance? Riots? Maybe a failed insurrection? For those of us who lived through it - on the frontlines - it was a catastrophic nightmare. The first eight days overflowed with anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, trepidation. The recipe for a lifetime of unspoken trauma. The province that raised us was set alight. Its infrastructure abused, the fragile economy gang-raped. People who lived alongside me mutated into savages. Others became statistics, no longer referred to by name, but only as a collective. "More than 350 died," we say. Yet the ones who orchestrated it are most likely still alive and well. But we don't just grieve for the departed. We mourn the jobs lost, the livelihoods shattered, the businesses buried. About ten percent of the murders took place in a north Durban township. The nature of the violence birthed the term "Phoenix Massacre." Its impact pushed race relations decades back. A minority of barbarians in a usually warm, close-knit community turned on their long-time neighbours in the most brutal way. Both "sides" paid with their loved ones, casualties of a racial war. This wasn't just a story to us. It was our lived experience. We saw the bodies strewn across the roadway. We know the helplessness of not being able to save the ones taking their last breaths. We felt the racism directed at us. And propagandists capitalised on the confusion that reigned. People who look like me wanted someone to blame for the backlash stemming from the actions of a small group of racist murderers. So, one propagandist offered me to them as a virtual sacrifice on Facebook. It worked. I was labelled a traitor, threatened, ostracised, blamed and even became the subject of a campaign led by some to get me fired. Just for telling the truth; for standing up when it was easier to sit down. A few days later, another propagandist on Twitter (X) doctored a video clip to create a new narrative. "Journalist by day, vigilante killing black people at night," they said. So, while the city burned around me, I had my own fires to extinguish. Fake news threatened to reduce my career to ashes. I was fortunate to navigate this space with a colleague who I regard as a dear friend; a brother. Together, Nkanyiso and I - a pair that had seen the ugliest side of people during the unrest - helped each other stay true to our beliefs. Armed with an eNCA camera and a microphone, we showed you not just the bad, but the inspirational. We listened as the voices of good South Africans grew loud enough to eventually overpower the evil ones. We introduced you to the community heroes, who outnumbered the racist vigilantes. We held the government to account for its failures. Simply put, we followed the truth even when the path was deserted. Four years later, we reflect on an unbelievable time that should never be forgotten. It should serve as a reminder of exactly what we are not as South Africans.

Convicted serial killer, ex-cop in court for alleged murder plot
Convicted serial killer and former police officer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu appeared in the Kempton Park Regional Court this morning alongside her former colleague Nomsa Mudau on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. Kempton Express reports the case was postponed to October 1 after representation did not arrive for the hearing. On June 5, the case against the two former police officers was also postponed for a Section 174 application. Ndlovu, formerly stationed at the Tembisa Police Station, and Mudau, who served at the Norkem Park Police Station, are accused of conspiring to kill Mudau's ex-husband, Justice Mudau. It is alleged Mudau promised to pay the hitmen using proceeds from a life insurance policy she had taken out in her ex-husband's name. However, instead of carrying out the killing, the hitmen tipped him off. Ndlovu was sentenced in 2021 to six life terms in prison for the murders of five of her relatives and her partner.

WATCH: Cable thieves die, cause power outage in Lotus Park
A PAIR of cable thieves burnt to death at around 04:00 in Lotus Park when they allegedly tampered with a power box on Cocos Avenue, plunging residents of the area and surrounding vicinity into darkness. Also read: Cigarettes blamed for Doonside bin fires According to Dhevan Govindasamy, spokesperson for PT Alarms, eThekwini firefighters doused the burning power box and police thereafter commenced with investigations. Govindasamy said the security company's response teams and ambulance services attended to the grim scene of the two men already dead, having suffered extensive burns. 'It is believed that the men were tampering with a power box when they were electrocuted and burned to death,' Govindasamy said. Ward 90 councillor Shad Nowbuth explained that the vandalism and subsequent explosion of the Cocos Avenue mini-substation affected a further six substations from Cocos Avenue to Tipuana Crescent. He said that the substation has been isolated to allow for repair work to commence. 'Most of Isipingo Rail, including Isipingo Hills, Malaba Hills, Pilgrim informal settlement and Isipingo CBD will be off due to separate faults. Several cable faults have been identified, including that of Redbro Substation, resulting in several other substations being off,' said Nowbuth. He added that depot staff will be attending to the outages and electricity should be restored later this evening. For more South Coast Sun news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
