Residents say they live in fear as gunshots ring out daily.
They have urged Police Minister Bheki Cele to visit the area and listen to their plea for police intervention.
They accuse the local councillor of misleading them, by saying their planned shutdown was legal and that the local police station commander had given them the go-head to protest. They were shocked when police fired rubber bullets and arrested some of them for embarking on an illegal strike action. The residents have urged Minister Cele to come hear their pleas.
“We are here to fight for our rights as residents, to be safe, we are protesting for Bheki Cele or Department of Public Safety or SAPS to intervene as it is not safe where we are. When we protest as residents we are being victimised,” a resident says.
