Ekurhuleni Metro Police say the situation in the township has been overwhelming for law enforcement officers. The“We are really overwhelmed with what has been happening. By the look of things we are now being placed in a predicament where all protestors are approaching on all corners and we are trying to calm the situation, “ says EMPD Spokesperson, Kelebogile Thepa.Meanwhile, protesting residents have set fire to a municipal facility and several cars belonging to the City of Ekurhuleni.
“Those are criminal elements, how do you burn the same building that provides you with the same service you need? Those who are saying because the mayor did not come, they are using that to continue with their looting and criminality. Those criminals are using that as a tool to continue with their criminal activities.”
Geez it’s going down in tembisa town
What happened to using rubber bullets on protesters?
So our police are always hard when coming to protest but when there's a serious crime (blacks against blacks protecting those who doesn't care about the masses)
Where are we heading as a country ?
