As the country enters fifth day of unrest and protests in some parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal, a protest which initially started as the “#FreeJacobZuma” has now been hijacked by opportunistic scenes of violence where various shops are now being looted.

In a video which was recently shared on social media, police in KZN are seen loading cooler box and other items in police marked minibus taxi.

Police in the province are yet to make an official comment on the matter.
