This article discusses the riots in South Africa in July 2021, with a particular focus on the township of Phoenix in Durban. It highlights the racial turn of the violence and the failure of the ANC-led government to address the inherited apartheid geographies and racialized forms of capital accumulation. The article emphasizes the explanatory power of racial capitalism as an ongoing process.
In July 2021, riots involving large-scale looting of businesses enveloped parts of South Africa. The spark for the violence was the incarceration of the country's former President, Jacob Zuma. While referring to the broader dynamics of the riots, this article focusses on one township of Durban, Phoenix. Here, the violence was headlined as taking a racial turn, setting African against Indian. By situating the analysis against the African National Congress (ANC) led government's failure to confront inherited apartheid geographies and racialised forms of capital accumulation, the article foregrounds the explanatory power of racial capitalism, with the understanding that, while dynamic and changing, its temporality horizontal ellipsis is one of ongoingness horizontal ellipsis a process not a moment horizontal ellipsis .
