However, additional security measures were put in place at Gateway, north of Durban, on Monday amid fresh threats of looting. At The Pavilion, police helped foil an attempt at violence and looting on Sunday.
In Durban, Cele joined security forces in the city’s business district as they responded to tip-offs from residents on the whereabouts of suspected stolen property, looted during last week’s unrest. Cele says the recovery of stolen property will be the order of the day in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, and all suspected looted goods will be placed at various police evidence storage facilities.
“We are thankful for communities who keep on providing information that can assist police and we also commend people that are voluntary surrendering the stolen goods and must continue to do so, but those who choose to keep these stolen ware in their homes are being warned that the law will not have mercy on you,” Cele said.
