The raging unrest first erupted last Friday.
Johannesburg, South Africa:
Stores and warehouses in South Africa were hit by looters Tuesday for a fifth day running despite the troops President Cyril Ramaphosa deployed to try to quell unrest that has claimed 72 lives.
As pillaging erupted in the economic capital of Johannesburg and the southeastern province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa s main opposition accused radicals of stoking the unrest.
The armed forces were sending 2,500 soldiers to help the overwhelmed police.
But these numbers are dwarfed by the more than 70,000 troops deployed to enforce last year s coronavirus lockdown, and only a handful of soldiers were seen at some shopping centres.

Palestinian militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip fired dozens of rockets at the Jerusalem area and southern Israel on Monday, and Israeli jets retaliated, as weeks of confrontations exploded on two fronts.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said that 20 Palestinians were killed, including 9 children, with 65 injured. Two houses outside Jerusalem were slightly damaged and an antitank missile struck a car in southern Israel, wounding one person, Israeli officials and media said.
