The police said they will arrest those who are guilty of orchestrating violent protests if any such evidence emerges.
On Thursday morning, several roads in Hammanskraal on the outskirts of Pretoria were blocked with burning tyres, rocks and rubble. Plumes of smoke were clearly visible.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse small crowds of protesters who tried to block the N1 highway towards Polokwane.
Speaking to journalists in Hammanskraal, Captain Kay Makhubela said that there are several protests that have flared up around Gauteng, including Vereeniging, Soshanguve, Bekkersdal, Pretoria West and Hammanskraal.
