Johannesburg Metro Police say violent protests are spreading to many parts of the city, with Hillbrow and Alexandra being the latest affected areas.
Protests have also been reported in areas including Malvern, Jeppestown, Denver, Wynberg and the Johannesburg CBD where some businesses have been looted.
