Following the sentencing of the Woolworths store looter Mbuso Moloi by the Durban High Court today, Friday, 7 June, some have questioned the overlooked individuals.
OUTCRY OVER WOOLWORTHS LOOTER SENTENCING
Moloi was part of a surge of looters who helped themselves to goods during the 2021 July unrest in Durban. Moloi stood out from hundreds of videos that were taken during the ordeal. He was filmed pushing a trolley full of goods to a Mercedes Benz outside a looted Woolworths outlet in Glenwood. Although he was singled out, there were too many identifiable faces that caught the public eye during the unrest, why him? Some have asked online.

“Yho this guy was never caught also, even after national news, Life is so unfair,” Almighty Zar added.
“In South Africa, SAPS and Justice system like to go all out when it comes to ordinary citizens and minor things but when the stakes are high & real criminals have to be arrested and prosecuted, you will swear that we don’t have SAPS. Where’s that guy who ate the whole cake at Checkers?” social media commentator Man’s Not Bary Roux also weighed in. (sweetchildbirth.com)
THE SENTENCE SERVED TO MBUSO MOLOI
Nevertheless, Moloi was sentenced to three years imprisonment suspended for five years. He was also fined R1000 for not displaying a registration on his car.
As previously reported by The South African, Moloi was released on bail of R5 000, which he was granted a year and a half ago.
In addition, his vehicle was also attached by the Asset Forfeiture Unit as it was deemed a tool used to commit a crime.
