NATIONAL NEWS - Reports of another ‘suspicious device’ in Durban emerged on Monday morning. The device was allegedly found in an underground parking lot at the Pavilion Shopping Centre in Durban this morning.
It has now emerged that as of noon on Monday, the situation at the Pavilion Shopping Centre in Durban had been cleared, and the device was found not to have been an explosive, but rather a discarded security tag, reports Highway Mail.
Durban has seen a number of devices detonate in shopping centres, and reports over the weekend said two devices were also found on the periphery of the Durban July.
Last week, two incendiary devices were found at both Gateway and Pavilion Shopping Centres, in the Woolworths menswear section of both malls.
These devices were said to have started a fire, but not an explosion.
