JOHANNESBURG: South African police on Tuesday said a teenager was killed in a fresh round of anti-corruption protests which forced the president to cut short a foreign trip. Riots over alleged government corruption and poor public services erupted last week in the North West province, where cars were set ablaze and shops looted in the first wave of unrest to face President Cyril Ramaphosa, who came to power in February. “A 16-year-old boy was found dead during a violent protest yesterday evening in Taung,” provincial police spokesman Sabata Mokgwabone told AFP.
