Naledi has become a statistic – among several businesses pillaged during the outbreak of violence in KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng – following the sentencing to 15 months’ jail of former president Jacob Zuma for contempt of the Constitutional Court. “I have worked for Shoprite for the past five years, with a family to feed,” said a Shoprite employee who did not wish to be identified.With banks and adjacent businesses completely destroyed at the mall, Ammie Maleka and Mapule Matjeke were busy clearing up the debris at the Batho-Pele pharmacy.
“Just imagine clearing all medication from shelves, without knowing a proper dosage? What desperation could have driven anyone to do this in the middle of a pandemic – with this being the only pharmacy here? While businesses were reeling from the looting, a small home-based family food store on the other side of Vosloorus has survived the carnage. “It is all by the grace of God,” said a family store owner who did not wish to be identified for fear of reprisals.
