2021 July Riots | Durban business rises after 40m loss

DURBAN - It's been four years since KwaZulu-Natal was set alight while lives and livelihoods were snatched away during the July 2021 riots.

 

In July 2021, violent protesters set fire to the country’s economy.
 

R50-billion worth of goods went up in flames, thousands of jobs disintegrated and over 350 people were killed.

 

Four years later, the scars – on the economy, the landscape and the hearts of the victim’s loved ones – are healing.

 

Although slowly, it’s a testament to the resilience of KwaZulu-Natal citizens and a 2019 BMW M4 Competition – like a Phoenix that rose from the ashes - stands proud as a shiny symbol of hope.

 

Taren Ramsaroop, the owner of Deutsche Auto, tells us why.
