WATCH: ‘Gang told residents to loot shops as owners refused to pay for protection’


Cape Town - Police are investigating the looting of two shops in Valhalla Park on Monday morning after residents cleaned out the shops allegedly on the orders of local gangsters.

Officers resorted to firing rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse the unruly mob shortly after 6am as they ran through the streets carrying off food and whole lambs - while people were preparing for their Heritage Day braais the next day.

According to a police source, the owners of Jowoodien Superette and the butchery in Angela Street were allegedly threatened by members of the 28s gang after refusing to pay protection money.

“The residents went in after an alleged order by the 28s gang because the owners did not want to pay ‘tax money’,” said the source.

“They instructed the residents to break in and take everything they want and this is why the residents are keeping quiet about what happened.”

Ah, that favorite African pastime - looting ..... second only to burning stuff. I'm sure someone will be along to post an article about some looting elsewhere in the world to make it all seem normal ;)

Why did the owners of the looted shops not pay the "protection" money to the gangsters Sauron's supporters? What were they thinking?
Looting is orc behaviour but I won't call them Orcs. However, it does not mean that I condone the behaviour of this gentleman.

Ive never had much sympathy for these gang infested areas and its residents. This just proves my point.

Unfortunately, the direct consequence of a collapsing economy, extremely high unemployment rate, rising inflation, no increases in grants, declining tax revenue. People will resort to criminal activity to just get something to eat. Businesses will be the number 1 target.

In this case, gang members starving and need 'taxes' to eat and feed families, don't pay the 'tax' to support the staving gangs, get looted :whistling:

Simple solution, close up shop and move your business elsewhere, if the locals cant respect your business , they should have to go without the convenience of that business.

Then EWC and land reform will be in the spotlight again, as all the decentralized would want to move closer to the 'economy', businesses and jobs.
