A resident attempts to extinguish a fire in a burning storeroom on church property as angry residents refused to accept the replacement of Pretoria's mayoral candidate in Atteridgeville, Pretoria, South Africa, Tuesday June 21, 2016. South African rioters blocked roads, looted shops and burned vehicles on Tuesday in several areas of the country's capital, Pretoria, in a show of anger over the selection of the ruling party's mayoral candidate ahead of local elections. The violence raised concerns about security ahead of the Aug. 3 elections in South Africa, where periodic unrest over the lack of basic municipal services already stretches police in many poor communities. In the past year, violence and vandalism have also hit some universities and other schools as students protest high fees and voice other grievances. (Photo by Shiraaz Mohamed/AP Photo)
