Protests and looting which saw store shelves stripped bare in Gauteng have been the worst encountered by law enforcement, a private security firm said on Wednesday.
He said its members continued to be very active in KwaZulu-Natal on Wednesday, but the looting had eased in Gauteng.
“We are observing the activity there. There is a lot of information coming through which we are verifying to see if it is accurate and our air support will give us feedback.” “We don’t give numbers of members being deployed. We deploy according to the police plans because the police have identified areas in which they need more support.
Col Brenda Muridili, speaking on behalf of the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure , said an update would be released later on Wednesday.
