Case study: The 2021 July unrest saga
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 who went deep into
the mall. Constables Leuw and Maseko gave their positioning to Captain Sondlo, who told them to
stay put and a teams is sent to retrieve them. The constables heeded to this call and they were found
and retrieved.
