At Protea Glen people have broken down this gate to access the butchery which also sells groceries. Among the looters are young kids

I have seen several people emerging from the store with this. People are coming with trolleys to put in groceries @City_Press

Some people are loading their bakkies,dustbin and cars to load the groceries.

"Abantu balambile nhe?"
@City_Press

They have now broken into the Auto Zone shop. People are walking out with car tyres and batteries.

Small children are being made to watch over the looted groceries by their parents.

Cops have just arrived & dispursed the crowd.
However, crowds are now throwing rocks at the police.

Overhead in the crowd: "Ngeke sihlulwe yilabantu. Asingeneni."
@City_Press

The cops have left. They were probably here for 10 minutes. The looting continues. The crowd has now broken into the Cashbuild.
@City_Press

People are now walking out with anything you can think of from a building material store. Geysers, doors, paint, blinds, aluminium doors,wheelbarrows etc.

Looting has started in Protea Glen mall. I've just saw young men walking around with crates of alcohol from the Pick n Pay liquor at the mall.

The aftermath of the looting at this shopping complex. Some people are still inside the Cashbuild taking whatever they can get.

The looting has now moved to Protea Glem mall about 500 meters away from this shopping complex.
@City_Press

Scenes outside the Protea Glen mall, people have parked their cars, go inside the mall to looting and then go offload in their cars. I've witnessed people offloading staff in Mercedes Benzes & BMW.
@City_Press

It's free for all at Protea Glen mall. People are loading furniture in their bakkies. Clothing shops are literally empty. Pick n Pay liquor is empty. They are now breaking into the Liquor City
@City_Press

I've noticed that a lot of people are looting baby diapers. I've just seen a guy walking out of Clicks with 5 or 6 packs of Pampers
@City_Press

I've just been inside the one side of the mall. ALL these shops are EMPTY: Foschin, Mr Price , Truworths, Identity, Markham, Exact, Ackermans, Legit,Fashion World, Studio 88, an optometrist shop, Vodacom, a salon, Sheet Street

Pep home, Rage, Jet, Street gym (they sell sneakers), Pep cell, Lewis (what's left is what they can't carry out). ALL these shops are empty
@City_Press

People are still looting the Pick n Pay liquor, Shoprite. I saw some guys fiddling with a Nedbank ATM. The Pick n Pay has not been looted. There is a lone security guard with a gun at the door of the Pick n Pay

Small children are walking out of the Pick n Pay liquor with bottles of wine and ciders

SIDE NOTE: Ndenze laybye a Jam clothing for my babies and now it has been looted. Bendizozikhupha empela nyanga ezampahla 😭 akhonto ingeyo worry.

The guy is still trying to break open the ATM. I don't know what he did but his hands are now bleeding. His clothes are bloody & there is blood on the floor 😳
@City_Press

Someone just drove off with one of these. He found the key inside the Debonnairs shop.
@City_Press

Bakkies, small trucks, quantums and small cars are full with clothes, groceries, alcohol, meat and anything you can think of. Others are packed outside the mall.

I've been here for more than an hour and have seen no single cop
@City_Press

The looters are now targeting ATMs. I've witnessed them trying to break open a Standard Bank, Absa and Capitec ATMs.
