According to the City’s Traffic Service on Monday morning, several protests have broken out in various areas in the metro.
Pressure group Gatvol Capetonian said they wanted to highlight the plight of backyarders. They alleged a memorandum they had handed over had been “blatantly ignored”.
Brigadier Novela Potelwa said in a statement on Sunday :"The SAPS in the Western Cape has noted with concern reports on social media from a grouping that threatens to shutdown on Monday, 27 July 2020, certain parts of Cape Town, including major freeways and access roads. “It was on this basis that the management of the SAPS in the province had undertaken to mobilise resources within the SAPS and other law enforcement agencies under the auspices of the Provincial Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure to curb acts of lawlessness.
"It is on this basis that the SAPS in the Western Cape is issuing a stern warning to all communities to respect the rule of law. Cape Town, just like the rest of the country is still under lockdown in terms of the Disaster Management Act."
