Elderly man allegedly beaten up and left to freeze in supermarket cold storage

Gugulethu CPF spokesperson Linda Kabeni said they were deeply shocked by the incident.
“Our people at the time where we are supposed to be celebrating the democratic dispensation, a black person is still not being respected. When someone has been accused of theft, in our understanding, law enforcement agencies must be called, you don’t put people into fridges, we are dismayed by Shoprite but we understand why they did it, it’s because it’s a poor black person that has no means of taking legal actions against Shoprite.
