South Africa has deployed the army to stop rioters damaging shops
South Africa has deployed the military to tackle riots that have broken out over the jailing of former president Jacob Zuma. This after Shops were looted and buildings set on fire on Monday, as Zuma challenged his sentence at a hearing in the top court. Zuma was convicted of contempt of court after failing to attend an inquiry into corruption during his presidency. The 79-year-old, who denies corruption, handed himself in to police last week to begin his 15-month sentence. In response, President Cyril Ramaphosa has appealed for calm, saying there is no justification for the violence.
