South African mall reopens after evacuation due to bomb threat

South African police found no explosive device at the Mall of Africa after the shopping center's management received a bomb threat earlier, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

"Police searched and nothing was found and it was handed to the management," said police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini.
