#1 The latest incident was an unfortunate echo of the country's apartheid past

Which has been over for fourteen years. Somebody else has been in charge. Idiots.

The unrest is seen as a result of policy failures to address critical housing shortages, illegal immigration and the poverty-ridden conditions in the slum areas that surround South Africa's cities.

Why the answer is simple - take over the farms. Nationalize the industries. After all, it did so well for the rest of Africa.

Why don't you ask all those folks who 'cared' when apartheid was around to chip in a few dinero? What? They're all into AGW now?

Sorry, folks - yer screwed.

#2 It occurs to me that when you teach hate and resentment as primary motivating factors and reduce the political process to a division of the spoils, it'll always produce something like this.
