In an attempt to suppress the violence, the South African authorities deployed the army on the streets of the cities where the fiercest riots were recorded, but despite that, shops and apartment buildings were set on fire during the day.
Among the victims is a six-month-old baby, who was hit in the head by a stray bullet, but also a man who bled from the wounds received with a knife.
Large number of people were injured.
According to local media, chaos reigns in the clinics, as protesters are constantly trying to break into the rooms where the injured are.
Suhail Esa, a city doctor, described the scenes over the weekend as a "look into hell" because his clinic was flooded with patients.
President Ramaphosa is supposed to address the nation at 8pm regarding the chaos across South Africa.
