I don't think it's a "prequel" for the US so much as an extension of what was going on here, spread overseas. The difference is, in Sounth Africa, some motherfuckers just don't mind bustin' a cap in a looter's ass. They are somewhat less restrained than we are, especially given their recent history of throwing wars in their back yard and inviting all to attend.
Most of the unrest that involves folks shooting back seems to be in Kwazulu-Natal. There's a reason South Africa has never gotten them subdued, and they are a semi-autonomous region...
The aftermath of wars often breeds what might be called "unrest", because there are a higher percentage of folk who are more willing to end a dumbass because they've already been there before. Just look at the US in the aftermath of the Civil War - the Civil War is what spawned the "gunslingers" of the wild, wild west.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
