  • Riassunto

  • In July 2021, South Africa was confronted with the most emphatic indicator of social discontent in the post-democratic dispensation. Within a period of a little over a week starting on the 8th of July, about 350 persons lost their lives, tens went missing with some still yet to be found, and thousands were injured. R50 billion was estimated to have been lost to the economy as a result of the violence. Since July 2021, the country has struggled to make sense of what happened and we have referred to the incidents as “the unrest, the food riots, the looting, and the Zuma Insurrection” amongst many other names. The Report of the Expert Panel into the July 2021 Civil Unrest also highlights the multiple factors that contributed to the unrest. With the Wabhubha uMhlaba Podcast, we aim to produce a compelling narrative on the history and lived realities of people in KwaZulu-Natal, to produce a public resource for generative and fruitful discourse and social action, as well as to provide a space that is safe enough for victims and affected people share their story of what happened with the country and speak truth to power. The Wabhubha uMhlaba podcast is brought to you by the Nelson Mandela Foundation in partnership with the South African Human Rights Commission, Original cover artwork by Thato Toeba, Production by Showcast Media, Supported by the Old Mutual Foundation.

    Prologue | Kwanele Thwala & Thapelo Mohapi
    Jul 7 2023

    In this prologue, we explore the first moments of the Unrest and listen to how different people responded. We also begin to tease out significant themes surrounding the relationship between people and the state and how the Unrest occurred within predefined ways that the state interacts with the people of South Africa.

    We speak to Kwanele Thwala, an Uber fleet operator from Umlazi, Durban, as well as the Secretary-General of Abahlali BaseMjondolo, Thapelo Mohapi, about their experiences.
