Police on Wednesday closed the entrance of the Denlyn Mall in Mamelodi where looters had earlier tried to gain access as violent protests continue in Tshwane.

This came as a group of protesters started looting shops along Tsamaya Road in Mamelodi East.
Since Monday‚ residents have looted shops‚ barricaded roads and also burned tires‚ preventing the free movement of vehicles.
The protests come after the African National Congress (ANC) leadership announced Thoko Didiza as Tshwane mayoral candidate.
Two police Nyalas were seen chasing looters along Solomon Mahhangu Road.
The group ran quickly west along Tsamaya Road near the Hinterland Street intersection‚ but they refused to disperse as they regrouped next to the mall.
More police gathered inside the mall to prevent further looting around the area. While there was an easy movement of traffic‚ tensions are still high as protesters have not left the vicinity of the mall.
Local taxis‚ known as "small businesses" in Mamelodi‚ have been doing a roaring trade with an abundance of commuters who work and trade around the mall.
