Cape Town - There was chaos in the Cape Town CBD on Wednesday as protesters against the provincial government ran amok and looted stores and stalls.
News24 reporter Nielen de Klerk said she was hiding in a food store as protesters looted stores and stalls in St George’s Mall. A shop owner had also been hurt by the protesters, De Klerk said.
A loud bang was also heard which De Klerk said was a police water cannon. Cape Times reporter Caryn Dolley said the bangs might have been stun grenades. Police sirens could be heard in the city.
People in the CBD have been advised to not venture onto the streets.
The protesters appear to be protesting the provincial government.
