Alderman JP Smith, providing an update on the latest developments, highlighted the ongoing challenges that enforcement services are facing. Incidents of stone-throwing and protest actions have been reported in various parts of the city, prompting swift responses from both SAPS and Law Enforcement.
Hotspot areas, including Philippi, Khayelitsha, Kraaifontein and the N7, are being closely monitored to curtail any potential escalation. In a parallel update, Councillor Rob Quintas, MMC for Urban Mobility, shed light on the transport impact resulting from the ongoing unrest. As of 5:30pm, the R300 and Jakes Gerwel Drive have reopened to traffic. However, the N7 remains closed in both directions between Plattekloof Road and Malibongwe Drive due to the continued unrest.
