The following day, the company director Fedrick Christian Muller discovered that there had been some a looting, but did nothing about it.
At around 10pm on the same day, Dube and Jazen again proceeded to the storeroom and stole 200kg bags of chicken which they took to town using a hired taxi.
On November 7, Muller discovered that there was an increasing theft of chickens and installed a camera in the storeroom without the two guards' knowledge.
