A number of roads in Durban central have been blocked by burning tyres as protests flare up in the city. There are also unconfirmed reports that the R56 near Foxhill is blocked.
The protests are reportedly due to the recent incarceration of former President Jacob Zuma.
Colonel Thembeka Mbele said on SAfm there were reports that the protest were linked to Jacob Zuma but this was not confirmed. She said police are monitoring the situation and will be unblocking the roads.
Andreas Mathios, from Marshall Security, said there are sporadic incidents around Durban of burning tyres and stoning of vehicles.

While it is still too early to determine where the discussion will be heading toward, it is also the perfect time to insert a new perspective on hacking back.
Summary
This analysis will try to build a new baseline by explaining the fragmented history of hacking back and outlining varying degrees of operational intensity to refine a more nuanced understanding of hacking back.
