30 June - It Doesn't Start With Violence.

Why do some grievances remain complaints while others grow into protests, demonstrations, and sometimes unrest? In this episode of The Fortis Brief, Fortis Strategic Analyst Riaan Coetzee examines the historical factors that commonly contribute to civil unrest. From shared grievances and economic pressure to trigger events, group psychology, and opportunistic actors, this discussion explores the conditions that have repeatedly appeared throughout history when societies experience instability. With 30 June approaching and public attention focused on planned demonstrations, understanding how unrest develops is more important than ever. This is not about fear. This is not about politics. And it is not about predicting the future. It is about understanding patterns, asking questions, and helping ordinary South Africans make sense of the environment around them. Awareness creates options. And understanding risk helps people make better decisions.
