Numerous shops were looted including the Civic Centre, which was also vandalised, while burning tyres and boulders continue to block roads
Pretoria - Disgruntled Eersterust residents took to the streets today, saying they are tired of the government being big on promises and small on the delivery of houses.
Residents have slammed the government, saying it has neglected to offer proper housing to backyard dwellers and that people who have been on housing lists in different communities for years are being overlooked. As a result people have started erecting shacks on vacant land. Since yesterday, men and women with spades and pitchforks have been seen moving between the tall grass on various open pieces of land in the Eersterust.
