The allegations are seen in an extremely serious light, and we continue to give our full cooperation to the South African Police Service (SAPS) to assist their investigation. 

As the matter is subject to court proceedings and therefore sub judice, we cannot provide any comment. The law must be allowed to take its course.

The supermarket chain extends its condolences to the family following their loss.

The allegations are seen in an extremely serious light, and we continue to give our full cooperation to the South African Police Service (SAPS) to assist their investigation.

Two processes are currently underway:

  1. An external criminal investigation managed by SAPS. We are providing all available information to SAPS in aid of the investigation. As it is a police matter, we cannot comment on the details of the incident.
  2. An internal disciplinary process. Branch management has been suspended and appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the law and the company’s Code of Conduct.

We take our corporate responsibility to respect and protect human rights in our operations and business dealings very seriously and will not tolerate any infringement of any person's human rights.
