Protests erupted last week as former South African President Jacob Zuma , 79, turned himself in to authorities to serve a 15-month jail term for contempt of court. Among those killed in the violence were 10 who died in a stampede in the township of Soweto, Police Ministry spokesperson Lirandzu Themba told CNN. More than 1,200 others have been arrested in the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal -- where Zuma is from -- and Gauteng. A police officer inspects the damage at a looted mall in Vosloorus, South Africa, on Tuesday. CNN on Tuesday visited Soweto, where shop owner Rahman, who did not provide his last name, said he is afraid he's lost everything.
