First you need to keep a small stockpile of food, preferably canned food ad they are easy to transport and do not go bad easily. This will provide you with sustenance if the shops once again close. Stock up on other non perishable food too. Next you need to join your community watch program, many people came out in support of their communities during the previous protests and people need to do that again. Go join and support these groups in any way you can. You may also want to get a personal weapon as a precautionary measure, it is legal to own a handgun in South Africa, provided that you have a license for it.
