Analysts Warns Unrest May Not Be Over as RET Faction Seeks to be Heard

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SA is being warned that the unrest that played out last week may not yet be over.
  • Analysts say that the instigators responsible – tied to ANC officials and members of the so-called 'radical economic transformation' faction of the party – no longer have a political platform to spread their views, and so the battle must be fought outside the party.
  • The warning comes as police stations have been placed on high alert, with intelligence pointing to possible attacks on armouries and security equipment.
  • Police have been given a memo to tighten security on their weapon lockups and to watch out for potential attacks.
