Pretoria, 24 July-(ANA)-South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has promised to deliver better services, such as water and housing, in a bid to end township protests this month.
But he warned that there could be no justification for violence.
Mr Zuma also urged understanding from council and other workers threatening to strike for higher wages.
Some 200 people have been arrested in the demonstrations, which revived memories of the deadly xenophobic attacks on foreigners last year.
Fifteen years after the African National Congress won its first election, more than one million South Africans still live in shacks, many without access to electricity or running water.
South Africa announced in June that it was facing its worst recession in 17 years. (ANA)
