Dozens of people have been arrested and roads have been blocked as the security forces deal with the ongoing violence.

The protests are continuing as the constitutional court hears Zuma's appeal against his imprisonment for contempt.

The court is holding a review of its decision with a ruling expected later on whether the sentence will be upheld.
