This is also believed to be the second week that some residents of this township have been without electricity.
This is the second protest in the area. Last week angry residents protested after not having electricity for at least a week. At the time police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele said no incidents were reported and Lamontville police were monitoring the situation. A video showing residents protesting outside the municipal building last week has one resident saying that they have been without electricity for over a week.
