A video of the looting incident was widely shared on social media in which people can be seen taking meat from the truck. In the clip, an MSF vehicle is parked among others and the driver shuts down claims that he looted, despite cuts of meat being packed on the flatbed.

According to TimesLIVE, the driver reported the incident to MSF managers in Eshowe. The group said that its preliminary investigations found that the meat was put in the back of the MSF pickup.

The driver was allegedly being pressured into helping the looters, which he had supposedly refused to do. MSF said that the incident has affected its relationship with the communities it serves in KwaZulu-Natal.

A police investigation into the matter is currently ongoing. The driver is expected to appear in the Melmoth Magistrate’s Court soon, IOL reported.
