ANC on Cosas rampage: 'There's nothing revolutionary about looting'
9 April 2019
The ANC on Tuesday condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the looting of businesses in the Johannesburg CBD and Hillbrow following a Congress of South African Students (Cosas) protest march.
News24 reported that alleged members of Cosas, who marched to Luthuli House on Monday afternoon, interrupted an ANC top six meeting and then went on a looting rampage in the Johannesburg CBD and Hillbrow.
Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo confirmed the plundering to News24 on Tuesday.
"We have opened several cases of public violence," Masondo said. He was aware of at least one shopkeeper that was injured.
