Unfortunately, yes. The masses here are a violent lot going back to Apartheid days. Rubber bullets & Sjambok whips now made from plastic are routinely used. The masses retaliate with rock throwing. The masses think this is all nonsense & that Covid poses no threat to the masses SA. It is very tough for the ultra poor with no resources or jobs. The extreme corruption of the last 10 years has ruined the SA economy but, for political reasons, no-one has yet been brought to book.

Belgian radio just reported that your police had to use rubber bullets
