Hawks vow more arrests as unrest 'instigators' granted bail
The Hawks say more alleged July unrest instigators are currently being rounded up across the country.
It comes after 22 people were arrested in multidisciplinary operations involving the Hawks, Public Order Police and Tactical Response Teams in six provinces.
They appeared in court in Durban on Friday and granted bail of R3 000 each.

"This investigation commenced about a year ago,” says Hawks spokesperson Thandi Mbambo.
“Yesterday was just the implementation of the number that we had actually had hoped that we would regain but we haven't reached that number.
"So it would mean that the investigation and operation will continue. It would stop now up until we have identified all the people through investigation."
