President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Friday it was clear that the unrest that has roiled South Africa in the past week had been instigated and his government would not allow "anarchy, mayhem" to prevail.

Ramaphosa made the remarks when he visited Ethikwini Municipality, which includes the port city Durban, one of the worst-hit areas in a week of looting that destroyed hundreds of businesses and killed more than 100 people.

He also said he was concerned about rising racial tensions in some parts of the country.
