These are some of the high-end valuables that looters in Springfield Park, Durban, carried away from dozens of stores including Makro, car dealers and electronic shops on Tuesday, without any police or army vehicle in sight to stop them. TimesLIVE witnessed looters ripping off solar panels in the parkade of Marko — in about an hour every single solar panel had been removed.Inside Makro, looters had begun organising themselves, creating some sort of order amid the chaos.
A number of individuals had placed themselves in charge at the head of this criminal operation — stopping looters from entering the store and asking them what they wanted.They would then get the desired products and hand over the looted goods to those requesting them. Many people offloaded their loot into their vehicles, some driving top-end cars parked on the main road.
