There is a misconception about that whole video, I haven’t had the chance to say anything about it. “I now have people threatening my family over such a misconceived video. The 26-year-old said his family was now receiving threats as a result of the incident and the widely shared video. He said he was able to pick up some milk, juice and washing powder. “So I leave her in the car and I pick up a basket that was outside, among the chaos that was going on, I picked up the basket and raked whatever I can find on the floor and I take it with me. He said he instructed his sister to remain in the car while he got out. On the way, we bumped into ongoing looting at the store.” “Our mandate to leave the house was to go get her sanitary pads and essentials. He said he had gone out with his sister to buy her sanitary towels and other essentials. I am not going to understand anyone that is going to proclaim and say that I am looting,” he said. “People are proclaiming that I was looting, did anyone see me go into Woolworths? I never even walked into Woolworths, the basket that I had in my hand was from outside the shop.
