At this point, we do not have any further details.

Please contact SAPS for further information in this regard. At present, we are assessing the extent of the damage caused during the vandalism which took place on the evening of the 11th of July 2021.

Criminal offences of this nature have been witnessed over the last 24 hours throughout Kwa-Zulu Natal and will have a severe impact on our economy. We implore anyone with any information that may lead to the arrest of the perpetrators to liaise with SAPS directly.
