“Woolworths looter” Mbuso Moloi pleaded guilty to a charge of theft on Wednesday, admitting he stole goods from the food chain’s Davenport store during the July 2021 unrest.
“I drove around the area and past the Woolworths store. I noticed there were persons emerging from the store. At the spur of the moment and in an impulsive act, I stopped my motor vehicle on the side of the road.”
Moloi said he entered the store and right at the entrance noticed a Woolworths shopping basket and various goods strewn on the floor. “I took the basket and collected some of the items ... exited the store and placed the basket in the back of my vehicle without paying for the goods and drove off.”Moloi also pleaded guilty to contravening road traffic regulations in that the registration number on his car did not match the vehicle licence number. He said he had been given the plates by the dealership, and he knew he had needed to replace them but failed to do so.
