Brigadier Jay Naicker told SowetanLIVE that in various parts of KwaZulu-Natal communities blockaded roads.
“Residents blockaded roads with rubble and burning tyres from around 5am on the N2 near Umgababa, Lamontville, Higginson Highway in Chatsworth, and Ntuzuma,” Naicker said.“We haven’t made any arrests because residents block the roads with rubble and then run away, so it is difficult to determine who is responsible for the disruptions,” he said.More protests have been reported in Mahikeng, North West, where residents have taken to the streets over service delivery issues.
Brigadier Saata Mokgwabone said it was not clear what the protests were in relation to but suspected the disruption of elections. "Residents have been protesting and blocking roads in Dithakong but it is not clear what they are protesting about," he said.
