South Africa: Red Ants fire rubber bullets as residents kicked out of vacant Mamelodi flats By News24
Scores of people were left sitting on the side of the road with their belongings.
Many of those who were left without a roof over their heads told News24 they would not allow voting to go ahead until the housing issue had been resolved in Mamelodi. Community members also said the apartments had been left open and unfinished for around three years. They moved into the units and they took up occupation earlier this year.
