The organisers of the protests say they want the council to be disbanded due to the municipality’s poor finances and a lack of services like refuse removal.
Children have returned to school on Friday morning. A private security company has indicated that looting continued well into the early hours of the morning. Looters caused large scale damage to shops and at least 160 people have been arrested.“This is over R1 million damage, over R1 million damage. The whole shop is wiped out, looted out, there’s nothing left, absolutely nothing left, nothing left.
Thursday saw violent protests blocking the road between Osizweni and Madadeni townships with burning tyres and rocks. Mayor Ntuthuko Mahlaba, however, says the protests are a smokescreen to gain the upper hand in the African National Congress in the region.
