Some security guards, who did not want to be named, claimed looters continue to enter Pan Africa Shopping Centre from one of the shops to see what else they can take from the stores – even stealing the mall’s light bulbs.
The guards did, however, say the arrival of the South African Defence Force yesterday afternoon, July 13, helped to ease the looting.
