South Africans are disgusted as they react to a social media post by the South African National Blood Service that was also looted on Monday. SANBS have condemned the violent protest as one of their outlets was broken into.
The information also comes after one of the branches was seen vandalised on television during President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address on Monday night.
With the country still battling against the scourge of the coronavirus pandemic and other illnesses, there is definitely the need for blood yet some people decided to break into the service’s offices.
The act has seriously attracted massive outrage from social media users and Briefly News takes a look.

“We watched looters live on eNCA during the president’s speech break into the SANBS offices above Queensmead mall to steal boxes so that they could loot the spar downstairs..”
@CalvinMakhubo said:
“Do people even know why we have SANBS, honestly now people are taking it too far. The very SANBS they wanna break into is the same that'll help them. SANBS saves lives but they wanna destroy. This is wrong.”
@Nanoza23 said:
“Send private security services, tweeting about calm won’t help with anything. You need to find out which offices those are and also the police must take fingerprints..”

Video of cops helping looters escape during the protest: “this country is a joke”
Still focusing on looting, Briefly News reported that as the looting of local businesses becomes increasingly more prevalent across the country, it's natural for South Africans to want a little reassurance from our police force.
However, one video of what seems to be a police officer helping looters escape a local shop after vandalising it definitely has Mzansi troubled.
Heading online, @_Tshwarelo04 shared the clip. "SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE helping criminals escape from the police, this country is a joke," he captioned the incriminating video.
