JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -South Africa deployed soldiers on Monday to quell violence that erupted following the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma, after days of riots left at least six people dead.
Police said disturbances had intensified as Zuma challenged his 15-month prison term in the country s top court.
The judgment in the case has been reserved.
Smoke swirled from burning buildings as items from burgled shops lay strewn by the side of the road in Pietermaritzburg in Zuma s home province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
