Police arrested 62 people after looting and unrest in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
POLICE officials have arrested 62 suspects, following unrest and looting by hundreds of people, in parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
“Seven suspects were arrested, four of whom were found inside one of the stores, while three were arrested for public violence and for being in possession of stolen property,” the unit said. In KwaZulu-Natal, arrests have increased to 37, police said. This is where protest action began last week. JMPD said earlier that there were unconfirmed reports that the incidents were linked to #FreeJacobZuma protest. This movement was also believed to be behind sporadic protests and violent incidents in KZN.
