The Clicks at Saveways Centre in Emalahleni (Witbank) was petrol-bombed on Monday morning.
A police source told TimesLIVE that there was minimal damage, with just a trolley catching fire.
Management of Saveways Clicks confirmed the incident. They said they were still conducting an investigation into the incident.
At the nearby Highveld Mall, a few EFF members have gathered in the parking lot. Inside the mall, the opening time has come and gone with the roller doors yet to be opened. Staff arrived at work in their plain clothes and were apparently advised to use a back entrance by security.
