\"\"<\/a>South Africa is on the brink of an \u201ceconomic war\u201d that threatens its security .<\/strong><\/p>\n

As violent protests spiral out of control, researchers, intelligence specialists and security organisations warn of impending national danger and more casualties.
\nResearcher Michael Hough, of the University of Pretoria\u2019s Institute for Strategic Studies, said the country was in an economic war. \u201cWe should be gravely concerned. Economic warfare underlies a vast amount of political conflict. General strikes are known factors for revolutionary ideas and precipitate the final stages of revolutions. They are the cause of economic collapse, which, if infused with politics, as is happening, becomes an uncontrollable revolutionary force\u201d.
\nHe said that though a wage strike could be resolved, it was virtually impossible to resolve politicised mass action disputes \u201cwhich are becoming more violent. What we are seeing now is becoming worse. People will die. With the country barely able to support the 15million people on welfare there is growing dissent, especially among the unemployed.\u201d

\nHough said leadership changes would not help.
\n\u201cThe problem is bigger than leaders. It requires stringent good governance to address the crisis of poor skills development and corruption \u2013 driving factors in a revolution.\u201d
\nAccording to intelligence sources, the strikes are part of a systematic attack on the economy and there are fears that they will spread to other crucial construction sites.
\nThe Medupi engineer said the targeting of the cranes was deliberate.
\n\u201cThis is orchestrated. It is industrial sabotage linked to current strike action in the rest of the country.\u201d
\nSA Security Forces Union president Bheki Mvovo said information from the union\u2019s members \u2013 several of whom were in military intelligence \u2013 showed that Malema was ready to sponsor an Arab Spring-style uprising.
\n\u201cHe has targets: the military, intelligence agencies, police, metro police, universities, construction and mines. It is an attempt to destabilise the country. South Africais facing a real danger,\u201d Mvovo said.
