A 252-page report by the SA Human Rights Commission into the July 2021 unrest, released on
Monday, has concluded that the acts of vandalism and destruction were ‘orchestrated’ by actors
who were ‘well-resourced’. Their identity, however, remains mysterious. This is one of the major
findings of a report released by the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) following on from public
hearings held in the wake of the unrest almost three years ago. The violence which broke out in the
wake of the imprisonment of former President Jacob Zuma for contempt of court in 2021 left more
than 350 people dead and caused an estimated R50-billion in damage. Phemelo speaks to Cultural,
Religious and Linguistic (CRL) Rights Commission Chairperson Professor David Mosoma.
