About 90 suspects have been arrested since the looting started in Jeppestown on Sunday and spread to Malvern, Tembisa, the Johannesburg CBD and Alexandra, SABC reports.He said, “We have constantly been in touch with the South African authorities and some of the instances they have responded to our call to deploy.
