Somali shop owner watches helplessly as residents loot his shop

A Somali shop owner watched helplessly as residents looted his shop and disappeared into shacks with crates packed with their loot‚ including baby diapers‚ in the Gomorrah informal settlement in Pretoria West. What started as a service delivery protest early on Wednesday morning turned into a raid on foreign-owned shops in the area‚ with some trying in vain to break open a steel shipping container shop which the owner had locked from inside.
