The Chamber said it supported any form of peaceful protest in accordance with current COVID-19 regulations but could not support the crime and looting that harmed not only its members but society as a whole.

She called on the authorities to take any action mandated by the constitution to restore order.

The Chamber expected the loss in trade to be substantial, especially for the city’s economy.

The president of the chamber, Shawn Theunissen said: We are facing a time already proven in business and as a nation. Jobs are at stake and continued violence will only lead to the closure of more businesses and increased job losses As the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry calls on those involved in the violence to cease and those acting against it to do so within the bounds of the law.
