JOHANNESBURG: The death toll in South Africa s unrest rose to 117 on Thursday, as the country called up its army reserves in a bid to quell looting that has stoked fears of shortages and dealt a crippling economic blow.
The acting minister in the presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, told reporters that Johannesburg, South Africa s economic capital, was now relatively calm while the southeastern province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) - the epicentre of the violence - remains volatile.
Defence, security and police ministers and top army generals were dispatched to KZN to assess the situation and oversee the expanded deployment of security forces.
