South Africa slams Savanna looters

People commented on the video, criticising the people who rushed to get free Savanna. Others cracked jokes about the looters who scrambled to get the free alcohol. Looting is a criminal offence in South Africa, according to Vuk'uzenzele. One of the most well-known looting protests was over the 2022 July Unrest in Durban. A man who looted Woolworths groceries and was caught on camera went on a lengthy trial. He was sentenced to house arrest and went viral for the crime, being dubbed the Woolworths looter. Watch the video of the people looting Savanna below:

Oom J commented:

"😭They don’t learn 😭faces and registration numbers are the easiest to get arrested."

Basson Kruger was not impressed:

"This is why SA will remain a third-world lawless country. The examples are set by Government leaders."

Farid Tayob added:

Apple User1995001 reflected:

"Insurance for goods on a truck in SA must be astronomical! The way this is just accepted as normal is so depressing."

🇿🇦MAV Hunting Safaris🇿🇦 wondered:

"Stealing is a crime in South Africa, so why are they not arrested? You have their faces on video."

monareng264 remarked:

"A few years back, we had Affirmative Shopping in KZN, and the looters were jailed on video evidence. A few years after the event, as we speak, some are still doing time."

Others were less harsh on the looters:

user9872594029 admitted:

"Nna I would go guys I won't act innocent 😭"

Gerald argued:

"Insurance pays out the load, that's why the public can pick up as much as they want to. They actually help clean the accident side."
