Explosion at Woolworths in Menlyn Mall: Five packers escape injury.
Two explosive incidents at Woolworths stores in Pretoria and Bloemfontein have raised concerns about safety, prompting increased security measures across the retailer's branches.
Just a day after an explosive device went off on a shelf inside a Pretoria Woolworths, a second blast has occurred at another of the retailer's branches in Bloemfontein.
The incident happened at the retail giant's outlet in Preller Square, in the northern suburbs of the city, at about 3am on Friday.
Free State police spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said the case has been handed over to the elite Hawks unit.
