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 were
at some instances met with armed looters who shot at the SAPS members. Captain
Sondlo, who was in charge on one of the days when looting and damaging was rife a
mall in Tembisa. Instructed all available police on the scene to ensure that they do not
put their lives in danger and that they do not endanger the lives of others. Constables
Leuw and Maseko heard the call by Captain Sondlo. However, they went deep into the
mall on their own, without enough rubber bullets and asked for back-up. After realising
that the two constables’ lives might be in danger. Captain Sondlo requested other 4
police officials to go into the mall to go look for and retrieve the two constables
