Parts of the Phoenix community have taken up arms amid #ShutdownSA. At least 5 people accused of looting are dead. Several cars torched. Armed residents, who forced us to leave, say they are “just protecting their families.”

Extremely volatile situation. Stay away. #eNCA pic.twitter.com/ID7zOjZn1V

#ShutdownSA This gentleman (Nkosingiphile) from Pietermaritzburg warns of the devastating economic impact, to be caused by ongoing violent protests & looting in KZN & other parts of the country. Like many motorists in PMB, he's had to travel kilometers to look for fuel. #eNCA pic.twitter.com/2jck7C5Cuw
