The government says it is ready for any uprising.
Police Minister, Bheki Cele, says law enforcement is already on high alert for the festive season.
He says it will use lessons learned from July’s unrest to prevent any violence.
“We have learned from our experiences and we have to use those experiences that the repeat of the destruction of property and loss of life as it happened, shouldn’t,” said Cele.
“We have met with the management and leadership of the South African police and defense to make the preparations that the responses and reactions are much better this time.”
