Our keyboard Warriors were shortsighted in their response to the observation of what seemed inevitable.
The hungry people seem shortsighted in their looting and burning.
There will be dire consequences.
Since the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma, pro-Zuma protesters have made it their duty to cripple the country said reports.
They have burnt roads and vehicles and looted small and big businesses.
They have also damaged electricity and water pipes in some areas.
