Police reinforcements were called to De Doorns on Thursday, as looters ran amok on the N1 highway, stealing big-screen television sets from stationary trucks

Videos circulating on social media show looters making off with flat-screen television sets and other goods, with dozens of people swarming around two trucks.

One of the trucks looted on Thursday was operated by SG Freight. The company's Nicholas Pillay said the vehicle was transporting spices worth an undisclosed sum of money. “It is becoming a real problem. There was another incident on Monday, where they stopped the driver and stole his keys,” he said. “The driver from today is safe. They stoned the vehicle and stole the batteries. They took the whole load.”

By looters you mean criminals

Those are the ones who were celebrating the other day

I reiterate looting in SA is caused by unemployment. They are starving in the cities, b'se some of them are unemployed for months& other for years. Previouly, they have looted businesses owned by foreign nations, now they have turned against bussiness owned by SAfricans

Hungry for screens

That video of police recovering back some of the staff was amusing

Sies!

This is not right👎

Incident has been reported to the Vedette app on Android. These crimes need to be reported and the word has to be spread for all to see. All crime info is public on Vedette Do Report. Be Aware. Stay Safe:

EFF members are busy looting the truck because they learn it from the best

Police should act and go house to house and people must be arrested. This is not right.🤬

They not looters they are criminals

Lawlessness country.

Mara why?

How is this called protesting? Isn't it just criminality?

Ramaphosa is trying to convince the investors that S.A is a good investment but then the rest of south Africa is pulling the other direction

Early Christmas presents 🎁

Everything For Free

Are we be becoming a banana republic, the law must take its course. No we can't tolerate lawlessness
