DA condemns Ses'Khona looting as pure criminality
Wednesday 25 February 2015
The Democratic Alliance condemns acts of looting yesterday outside the Bellville Magistrates Court, allegedly by supporters of the convicted Ses'Khona Nine (see report).
Images of the looting spree show members in yellow t-shirts stealing goods and supplies from traders outside the court.
Looting is pure criminality, and no reasoning of provocation can hold any water.
It is unacceptable that while the leadership of Ses'Khona appears in court to be sentenced for crimes at Cape Town International Airport, their supporters embark on another crime-spree outside of the court.
