"South Africa's Army Mobilized to Prevent Unrest Amid Truck Arson Attacks"
The South African military has been deployed to four provinces in response to a series of truck burnings that have occurred over the past week. The motive behind the attacks is still unknown, but there is speculation of economic sabotage. Police are searching for individuals believed to be connected to the attacks, which have been described as organized and sophisticated operations. The truck burnings are not believed to be linked to the violent unrest that occurred in July 2021 following the imprisonment of former President Jacob Zuma. The recent decision to uphold a ruling that Zuma's early release from prison was improper has raised concerns of further violence. The Department of Corrections has not yet determined if Zuma will be ordered back to jail. No deaths or serious injuries have been reported in relation to the truck burnings.
