As soon as day broke on Tuesday, KwaZulu-Natal residents began searching for shops that were open to buy basic supplies.
Many took to social media to ask where to find milk, bread and, in most cases, milk formula for babies.
With many shops still closed, or operating under limited hours, due to the looting, we have rounded up the best places to buy delicious bread around Durban during this time.
