Most shops in parts of the Johannesburg CBD remained closed on Wednesday morning, a day after marches swept through the city.
By 8.30am businesses across the CBD are usually open, with many spaza shops typically starting trade as early as 6am. However, a walk through the area found most shops were shuttered, with only a handful operating.
Shops along Rahima Moosa Street, Bree Street, Twist Street, opposite the busy MTN taxi rank, and Claim Street, were closed.
Despite the widespread closures, the streets were busy, with taxis operating as normal and commuters making their way to work, signalling a return to routine for many residents.
While business activity was subdued in parts of the CBD, public transport continued without major disruptions.
