Police are no longer allowed to use rubber bullets or shot guns on protesters.
The order was made at the end of December by Lieutenant General Elias Mawela from the police's reaction unit to all police officers in the country.
This follows the widespread force used by police officers on protesters.
The use of force and rubber bullets was highlighted by the death of Andries Tatane last April during a protest in Ficksburg.
