[File Image] Unrest sent the KwaZulu-Natal and its economy into a tailspin.

Police say they are on high alert following violent protests in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).

The situation in the province remains tense on the eve of former President Jacob Zuma’s application for the rescission of his 15-month prison sentence at the Constitutional Court.

The province has borne the brunt of two days of violent widespread protests with pro-Zuma supporters calling for his release.

Zuma is currently incarcerated at the Estcourt Correctional Services facility.

Protesters across KwaZulu-Natal have intensified their call for Zuma to be released.

Mooi River was among the worst hit with the torching of more than twenty heavy-duty vehicles.

At least 27 people were arrested by late Saturday for public violence and damage to property.

Criminal elements

President Cyril Ramaphosa has issued a warning that criminal elements will be met with the full might of the law.

Meanwhile, the African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) says action will be taken against those members who have been involved in activities that have destabilised the province.

Security remains tightened around the Estcourt Correctional Services facility.
