On Thursday, MPs in the portfolio committee on small business development together with the select committee on trade and industry, economic development, employment and labour visited affected malls in Gauteng to assess the damage to businesses.

Masedi Malatji, founder of Dinoko printers and computers, says his losses including equipment total about R150,000, following the looting that happened in Thembisa in July.“It's very difficult, my accounts are now empty,” says Thembisa businessman Masedi Malatji, whose shop was looted during last month's wave of unrest.

“It was during the night, around 8pm, I received a call from another business partner ... I went to the shop to try to protect it, but when I got here I found that my shop was already looted,” he told TimesLIVE.“There were many people. They looted Cambridge [shopping centre in Mayibuye] for four days. There were no police around to stop that,” he said.
