Cassper Nyovest also spoke out against President Cyril Ramaphosa in a statement on Twitter.
Part of his statement said: “This has been brewing for some time now.
“South Africa has been a ticking time bomb.
“Passing judgement from our comfortable homes about how people who are angry and less fortunate should behave is utterly ridiculous, some families’ reality is far more difficult than ours, so I can’t judge anyone.
“I am totally against looting.
“However, I am equally torn by our people’s lack and suffering.”
He asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to step up and not just rely on speeches for actions.
“Too many lives have already been lost, we plead for our president to show real leadership.
“Stand firm and show care for his nation … not just iPad speeches on TV,”
