During the month of July 2021, unrest broke out and swept through the country, especially in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
The impact of the unrest and its associated activities have been devastating for the country’s economy, which has already been significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and further attributed huge financial losses to businesses - small, medium and large — some of which will not be able to recover and re-trade resulting in wide scale job losses.
The unrest accordingly exacerbated, amongst other things, inequality between certain communities, unemployment levels, poverty, hunger and food insecurity.
