During the period 9 to 17 July 2021, South Africa experienced violent protests and
socio- political unrest which was categorized by widespread violent protests,
rioting and looting of shops and businesses, and destruction of public facilities and
private property in parts of KZN. This spread to parts of Gauteng province from 9
to 17 July 2021. The protests resulted in extensive damage to the economy and
businesses, while threatening the lives and livelihoods of the people who were
already reeling under the effects of Covid-19. On a national scale, SAPOA
estimated that the extent of damage was worth R50 billion. The KZN province lost
R20 billion, and in Durban alone, R1.5 billion of stock was lost by businesses.
Large supermarket groups and wholesalers were mainly targeted and affected. For
example, Shoprite Group Stores reported that out of its 1 189 supermarkets trading
under different names, a total of 200 Shoprite Group Stores were looted,
vandalised and/or burnt in KZN and Gauteng, including 69 Shoprite supermarkets,
54 Shoprite Liquor Shop outlets, 44 Usave stores, 35 furniture stores, six Checkers
supermarkets, one Checkers Hyper, and one Freshmark Distribution Centre.
Massmart Holdings Limited reported that 41 of its stores had been looted in KZN
and Gauteng, with four facilities burnt and damaged. All this consequently led to
food shortages and under- supply of basic commodities in the affected provinces.
The South African Police Service members responded to the looting scenes and

others. Constables Leuw and Maseko heard the call by Captain Sondlo. However,
