Widespread looting and violence have plunged South Africa into chaos. The violence, which erupted last Wednesday with the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma, has now taken a life of its own. Initial estimates suggest that as many as 72 people have been killed, mostly in stampedes, as thousands plundered retail outlets, malls, and even radio stations. The South African government has deployed more than 1,200 troops in two provinces in a bid to contain the violence and restore order. Watch this video.
