WATCH: Lumber truck set alight during protest

Thousands of rands have gone up in flames after a truck with a full load of timber was set alight by protesters this morning on the P110 in Doringkop, Sokesimbone, in KwaZulu-Natal, the North Coast Courier reports.

According to a source residing in the area, the protesters are unhappy with Ward 1 councillor Dumsani Ndimande, who is being accused of corrupting the ongoing housing project amid demands that he step down.

“There have been multiple resident meetings held to discuss this issue, but there has been no response.

There are reportedly 100 people on the road and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.
