[WATCH] Charges laid for Vodacom store trashing
The Democratic Alliance (DA)
Limpopo has laid charges against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporters who
allegedly trashed a Vodacom store at the Mall of the North on Sunday.
EFF supporters are unhappy after a picture of party leaders Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu was shown at the Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards, captioned "abusers of democracy".
The DA’s provincial leader Jacques Smalle - who opened the case - says he cannot name exactly who the charges are against as investigations are still ongoing.
"We have got video footage and one of those people that has been involved is a name that is known to us, he's councillor at the Polokwane municipality which we'd like investigations to be done into.
"I do understand that investigations could be sensitive at this stage," Smalle says.

He adds that goods may also have been stolen during the incident.
"Some of the individuals not only caused havoc but also looted from the store.”

Fighters don’t be surprised when @Vodacom gathers journalists to strategies on how to deal with EFF. It just means our fight is right where it belongs, in the belly of the beast: #WhiteMonopolyCapitalism
