On Thursday, protesters took to the streets in various parts of the City of Tshwane as part of protest action against rampant corruption and a lack of service delivery.
The affected areas include Hammanskraal, Soshanguve, Mabopane and Winterveldt, coinciding with demonstrations which have taken place around the country in places such as Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Orange Grove and Alexandra in Johannesburg and Kroonstad in the Free State.
However, Mahamba told the M&G that they are yet to establish the demands of the protesters. “We are hearing different stories from different people so we cannot confirm as yet,” he added. In Orange Grove, residents are demanding Johannesburg mayor, Herman Mashaba, convert old and unused government buildings into RDP houses. Disgruntled residents blocked off Louis Botha avenue on Thursday morning, but dispersed after police arrived on the scene.
