These are the 13 areas nationwide demanding the attention of politicians ahead of the May elections.
JOHANNESBURG - Ahead of the much-anticipated general elections set for 8 May, there has been a sporadic up-pick in service delivery protests in South Africa.
Since Thursday, the unrest claimed the lives of four people countrywide related to protests, which have seen the closure of roads in towns with burning tyres and debris, and have also seen police engaged in running battles with protesters. The SAPS identified a few hotspots where law enforcement visibility would be intensified to prevent shutdowns and no-go areas to stop the public from being able to vote.
