Johannesburg – As South Africa continues to burn as a result from the massive looting and violent protests across Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal, stars from the entertainment industry took to social media to share their thoughts on what has been taking place this past week.

Massive groups of people around the country have protested violently and looted many stores and liquor outlets, bringing the nation into a state of lawlessness.

Zozibini Tunzi, model and beauty pageant titleholder, who was crowned Miss Universe 2019, said in an Instagram post, “My country is bleeding. The truth is that it has been bleeding for a very long time. It is a combination of so many things. Anxieties are high, businesses and people’s livelihoods have been destroyed, poverty is at its highest peak, racial profiling is peaking and lives have been lost. Add to that we are still in a devastating Covid mess. We are in deep trouble and something has got to give.”

Musician, Prince Kaybee said, “We need heroes not people that are going to encourage you to loot on a big platform like Instagram! A building set alight by protestors with people inside, a mother had to throw her baby off a roof luckily strangers were there to save the day. Save your neighbourhood.”

Superstar, Cassper Nyovest, said, “Usually i would refrain from commenting cause of the backlash that we recieve when we share our opinions. Everytime I’ve tried voicing something on public it’s met with insults or being ridiculed, I was going to shut up and sell my cheap sneakers but what good would it be to have such a powerful voice if i can’t use it? I need to pick my words carefully because this situation is so sensitive.”


International DJ, Black Coffee asked for the president’s intervention.
