The People -V- The Mercedes Benz Looter - Sanelisiwe Moloi - Bog

The July 2021 South African civil unrest was a wave of chaos that plagued the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng. Political contempt and social outrage sparked unprecedented violence, lawlessness, mistreatment, and a devastating communal divide. It cost South African citizens lives, safety, jobs, and pride.
During this time Mbuso Moloi's once unheard-of name would be headlined alongside the infamous 'Mercedes-Benz Looter' after he was caught on camera allegedly looting a Woolworths store in Durban. The nine-second video featuring him emptying goods into his silver Mercedes-Benz would go viral overnight on all social media platforms, radio, news broadcasts and print media. The 'Mercedes-Benz Looter' would seemingly ignite a match to the prepared firewood that was set up all over South Africa and its people.
Public opinion, political games, honesty, and humanity are questioned in this biography following this personal yet excruciatingly public case of the 'State v Mbuso Moloi', but as it would become: The People v The Mercedes Benz Looter.
