1:54Now PlayingSouth Africa's army said on Monday that it was deploying troops to help police tackle deadly violence and looting as unrest sparked by the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma entered its fourth day.
A government intelligence body said a total of six people had been killed and 219 arrested in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces since rioting broke out, while calls from President Cyril Ramaphosa for a "peaceful protest" appeared to have gone unheeded.
Although some of the protests were triggered by Zuma's imprisonment, economic hardship and tightened restrictions brought on by a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic are also thought to be contributing factors.
