I'm all stocked up in suburbia, Cape Town.



Meanwhile, mere kilometers away, lies the township of Khayelitsya. The people there live on top of each other in squalor and abrupt poverty, rife with drugs, human trafficking and what qualifies as shelter for them is basically sink plate structures, walls and all. There are communal toilet pits, water access etc. The hygiene is nothing short of horrific.



Our army has rolled out the tanks and anti riot vehicles en masse country wide.



The reason they have given are the standard fare law and order stuff, which it is, to some extent.



But what will happen in a month's time?



Our population is officially 20% hiv positive. That's 10 million people. With those living conditions as described above, it is fair to assume a lot of people have compromised immune systems.



These communities are known for vigilante justice where crowds will set a person on fire for many reasons.



What happens when the supplies run out in these areas?



Crime will spread concentrically.



Throw into this mix thousands of decomposing bodies.



The people will flee their confined spaces and chaos will spill over to my part of town. This will happen countrywide as all cities are surrounded by townships.



Our current president was one of those in charge of the marikana massacre where shoot to kill became the order of the day against a mass of people being told by shamans that they will be impervious to bullets. All armed with machetes etc.



So if that standard operating procedure still stands there will be authorized use of deadly force against the governments own voter base which they neglected to properly provide for for 26 years.



The alternative is to allow these masses to spread chaos to all corners of the country, ensuring South Africa's complete collapse into hell.



As we enter our winter season I fear for the worst.
