“Since the start of today’s service delivery protest, the Rabasotho Customer Care Center has been set alight and four council owned vehicles were damaged in fires,” said CoE spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.
“The Thafeni Pay point is also on fire, as well as the substation on Andrew Maphetho Drive.”
“The burning of a substation will mean that residents of the area will be without electricity supply for some time due to the infrastructure damage,” said Dlamini.
