Rioting has continued in parts of South Africa in unrest sparked by the imprisonment last week of former president Jacob Zuma, which has spiralled into days of looting in two of the country’s nine provinces.

South Africa’s police say 72 people have been killed and 1,234 have been arrested in waves of rioting that hit the KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces.
