Cape Town and parts of South Africa have been rocked by community protests in recent days.
Western Cape community safety MEC Alan Winde on Friday welcomed the arrest of 20 protestors in Lwandle in Strand outside Cape Town for an incident of public violence and further called on the police to arrest the instigators of protests in Khayelitsha.
Cape Town and parts of South Africa have been rocked by community protests in recent days which have descended into violence and looting as residents of mainly informal settlements take to the streets to voice their grievances, this just less than a month before general elections. On Thursday, several roads were closed along the N2 highway near Cape Town as protests turned violent and police and law enforcement agencies flooded volatile areas, arresting at least eight people. The city of Cape Town reported that protests had erupted in Khayelitsha up to Somerset West near Sir Lowry’s Village, with reports of looting and stoning of vehicles.
