adminJOHANNESBURG. — A police docket has been opened into a burglary at the South African Press Association’s Pretoria office at the weekend, days before it will shut down, the agency said yesterday.
Computer motherboards and hard drives were stripped and taken on Sunday, Sapa’s IT manager Munetsi Chiunda said. The rest of the equipment was not stolen. Chiunda said it had since been moved to the Johannesburg office for safekeeping.
Chiunda arrived at the office on Sunday after a journalist discovered the break in and found equipment and furniture had been moved around.
There were visible signs of forced entry on one of the doors.
Sapa will send its last story at midnight on March 31. — Sapa.
