notes: Around 12 July 2021 (between 12 - 13 July), a group looted malls throughout the night and early morning in Vosloorus (Ekurhuleni, Gauteng). The demonstrators and police reportedly had a standoff after the group pelted stones at police. Police used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. One person died in the 'stampede'. The incident is linked to mass demonstrations that took place after the former president was arrested. Demonstrators called for his release followed by looting and public violence incidents.
