3 reasons expect politics for the looting of shops,malls and destruction of business property in gauteng and kwa zulu natal
Answers
Answer:
Mall owners have heightened their private security or closed their shopping centres to protect customers from looters and rioters especially in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
More than 200 malls have been looted or destroyed and more than 600 stores have been torched or damaged since violence broke out at the weekend, the SA Property Owners Association (Sapoa) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The body that represents 800 member companies and organisations said the situation is getting worse and that the authorities trying to calm the situation are overwhelmed.
Sapoa CEO Neil Gopal said though President Cyril Ramaphosa had undertaken in his speech on Monday to provide sufficient security to prevent further destruction, “looting is continuing and the police and private security are not coping”.
