7 Days of Mayhem - Coming Soon📖
When the July 2021 unrest tore through KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, some South Africans only witnessed it through TV screens, social media feeds and newspaper headlines. But for those on the ground, it was not a story — it was survival.
Seven Days of Mayhem is the gripping, deeply human account by Sthembiso Madlala, a KwaMakhutha community leader who walked through the chaos, fear, destruction, and heartbreak of those seven deadly days.
This is not the version told from blue-light convoys, high walls, or behind cameras.
This is the version told by a man who felt the heat of the flames, who heard the gunfire, who helped families in crisis, and who saw a community trying to hold itself together when everything was falling apart.
From the devastation…
to the aftershocks…
to the slow and painful journey of rebuilding…
Seven Days of Mayhem gives voice to the people who lived through one of South Africa’s darkest modern moments — and survived to tell the tale.
