The unrest began on Sunday in Jeppestown and has now spread to areas including Turfontein, Ekurhuleni and Pretoria.

JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress has condemned the violence and looting of shops in various parts of the country and called on police to take action against what it says are acts of criminality.

Police Minister Bheki Cele said he would meet with ring leaders in an attempt to diffuse the situation. Some foreign nationals who own shops in the Joburg CBD have been forced to vacate their stores for fear of being targeted overnight. A group of people have continued to target shops on Monday afternoon while officers continue to patrol the area.
