The Crime Intelligence and Community Awareness (CICA) group has posted new photos on Facebook showing destruction and looting in Pretoria.

The looting formed part of civil unrest in Tshwane following the announcement by the ANC that former Public Works Minister Thoko Didiza is its mayoral candidate.

The unrest saw the burning of busses, trucks, shops, and police vehicles – while looting happened in a number of shops.

According to the police, many foreign-owned shops were targeted in the looting.

“Looting went crazy with people going wild in Mabopane in Pretoria, with more than 100 stores attacked,” said CICA.

According to CICA, the losses and damages caused by the civil unrest in Pretoria is already “running into billions”.
