The violent protest action in Imizamo Yethu in the Hout Bay area of the Western Cape quelled on Sunday night and the roads leading into Hout Bay were reopened.
In March, a fire ripped through Imizamo Yethu and about 650 residents lost their homes.
This weekend, the residents who were moved to a local sports field while the City of Cape Town rebuilds their homes protested about the alleged slow speed of the City’s rebuilding process.
