I'm not well versed in South African populist movements, but it's pretty obvious that it's blacks against everyone else from the videos. Whether the attackers admit it's racially motivated or not, I don't know, but as an outsider it's hard to see it any other way. On the defense you see whites mixed with other races, like Arabs and Indians, but on the offense you just see this solid wall of black. They're even calling themselves Zulus, and I'm sure that has more symbolic meaning than describing the majority of the rioters' ethnic background.
Don't try to apply western politics to Africa. The Afrikaaners havent been in power for decades, their parliament is literally a collection of different African Tribes vying for power after they ousted the whites. With the whites gone, they divine themselves amoungst tribal lines Zulu, Xsosa, sothos ect.
No, they are LITERALLY Zulu who are pissed of their former Zulu president got put in jail for corruption.
This is just a continuation tribal warfare thats been going on since they were running around with spears hundreds of years ago and whites and Indians there are just caught in the middle.
