Cape Town - Chaos erupted in the Cape Town CBD as hundreds of people allegedly protesting against the provincial government flooded the streets and started rioting.
According to the People's Post, a large police contingent was present outside the government building where protesters vowed to stay until Premier Helen Zille addressed the crowd.
The protest then took a turn for the worse when some of the crowd broke away and began looting stalls and shops in St George's Mall.
Shop owners and traders were forced to pack away their goods and stop trading in fear of being attacked by a mob of protesters.
