eNCA reports that a violent protest broke out on Friday at a Makro store in northern Johannesburg, according to a Thomson Reuters witness.
The store is part of Massmart's Makro chain, whose employees have been on a wage strike for a week. Marune Rossouw, a Thomson Reuters employee, said she was trapped inside the store with around 50 other people as protesting staff rampaged through the car park, throwing stones at cars. A police spokesman could not immediately confirm the incident at the store. A Massmart spokesman also could not immediately give confirmation.
