Fifty nine suspects are expected to appear at the Krugersdorp Magistrates court on Tuesday on charges of public violence.
On Monday, protesters blocked roads with burning tyres and rocks in various areas of Mogale City, as part of their planned march against an increase in crime, the presence of drug lords and human trafficking.
Protesters torched buildings, damaged police vehicles and set a police station alight in Kagiso.
