Hundreds of protesters at Noah’s soccer field in Shakas Head are waiting for someone from the municipality or ANC to address them.
Protestor and Shakas Head resident, Fanokwakhe Ntaka said the community will not return to their homes until the powers that be have paid them the attention they deserve.
“We are angry that some of us were arrested this morning; we don’t know why and we need them back.
“The protest is not over until someone addresses us, said Ntaka.
A crowd more than 500 strong closed the N2 and R102 this morning with burning tyres and tree branches and then set fire to ward four councillor Jetro Banda‘s house and car in Shakas Head.
Banda was taken to safety.
The cops used rubber bullets to chase protesters off the Chakas Rock bridge above the N2 just before 7am this morning.
