The Hawks confirmed that they have joined an investigation into the spate of violent protests that broke out in the Tshwane area earlier this week.
Hawks spokesperson, Hangwani Mulaudzi confirmed that a task team has been set-up to investigate who are behind the violent protests.
Residents of Hammanskraal, Atteridgeville, Pretoria CBD, GaRankuwa, Mabopane, Mamelodi and Soshanguve took to the streets since Monday night setting alight property and barricading roads.

He added that members of the Hawks are assisting their SAPS counterparts to establish exactly who are instigating the protests.
"We have assembled a team and we are hoping for success as soon as possible," he added.
While no arrests have been made Mulaudzi said that they are confident that they will make a break through sooner or later.
"We are on the right track and our team consist of seasoned investigators that is sure to make a break through sooner or later," Mulaudzi concluded.
