KwaZulu-Natal is still reeling from the unfortunate events of the past couple of weeks which threatened to bring the province’s economy to a halt. Information at hand indicates that the unrest resulted in destruction across every sector of the provincial economy. Malls, Shopping Centres, Hospitals, Schools, Warehouses, Factories, Banks, ATMS, Liquor outlets, Liquor distributors, Delivery trucks and Communication infrastructure were among the destroyed infrastructure. The shutting down of key arterial routes from the Ports of Durban and Richards Bay had a devastating impact not only to the provincial economy but disrupted the country’s supply chain logistics. At a social level the unrest threatened progress made since the end of apartheid in fostering unity non-racialism, non-sexism and a prosperous South Africa. Thousands of jobs and food security were placed at risk and jeopardised social cohesion and moral regeneration. According to one estimate by the KZN Agricultural Union (KWANALU), the unrest demolished 55% economic activity in rural towns. At least 64% of rural towns experienced severe food shortages. -

Such a clash can only bring unhappiness and misery to both [African and White]. The only possible way out is that both adopt a development divorced from each other”. -
