Langa Shoprite Liqour Store in Cape Town Looted

Police in Cape Town are searching for people who looted a liquor store in Langa. A crowd broke into the shop at around lunchtime on Sunday and made off with alcohol. Langa ward councillor, Samkelo John said: “It is a very, very sad and bad reflection of us as the people of Langa, as it depicts us as an alcoholic society. Our people have made our community a chaotic one especially after it was one of two townships in Cape Town deemed not to abide by the lockdown regulations as declared by the president.

John said the looting sends a wrong message about the Langa community “and we hope that other people will not copy this irresponsible behaviour we displayed in the country as we are the first township to loot alcohol in this lockdown period”.

John condemned the looting and called it a “reckless behaviour”, and said they appreciated the swift reaction by the law enforcement agencies and appealed to everyone to assist them as they deal with culprits. He called on the community to adhere to the regulations of the lockdown and stay at home.

Shoprite confirmed the looting, and said private security and the police responded quickly and the store was secured. The police are investigating and the Shoprite Group are engaging with law enforcement agencies at the highest level to assist with keeping our stores safe while adhering to regulations in terms of the Disaster Management Act during national lockdown,” Shoprite said. At least one person has been arrested.
