12 JULY 2021 – The Centre Management of Umlazi Mega City would like to confirm that the centre was closed on the 12th of July 2021 as a result of looting and vandalism which resulted in extensive damage to the mall.
Please note that, together with the SAPS, we are investigating any possible casualties that may have resulted. At this point, we do not have any further details. Please contact SAPS for further information in this regard.
At present, we are assessing the extent of the damage caused during the vandalism which took place on the evening of the 11th of July 2021.
Criminal offences of this nature have been witnessed over the last 24 hours throughout Kwa-Zulu Natal and will have a severe impact on our economy. We implore anyone with any information that may lead to the arrest of the perpetrators to liaise with SAPS directly.
Our on-site team is working tirelessly to restore the centre and we ask for patience during this extremely difficult period. The safety of our customers, staff and tenants remains our priority and we will ensure that we will keep you updated as to when Umlazi Mega City will be trading again.
