Updated | By Jacaranda FM News
Tshwane residents continue to protest against the ANC's decision to name Thoko Didiza as its Tshwane mayoral candidate.
A shop has been looted in Atteridgeville.
Slindelo Masikane is there.
Tshwane protestors have threatened to shut down the area.
They're demanding Kgosientso "Sputla" Ramokgopa be named as the ANC's Tshwane mayoral candidate for the local government election on 3 August.
Violent protests broke out in the region on Monday night, spreading rapidly and leading to various main roads being barricaded.
At least 20 buses were torched. The Metrorail train service was also suspended in Kalafong, where protesters blocked the railway tracks with stones.
It comes after the ANC on Monday announced former Public Works minister Thoko Didiza as the party's Tshwane mayoral candidate for the upcoming election.
