Choas erupted earlier this morning in the Zandspruit informal settlement when residents violently went on the rampage.
Honeydew police confirmed that residents had blocked Beyers Naude Drive and Marina Avenue in protest action.
“Residents also damaged the Total garage opposite Zandspruit,” said police spokesperson Warrant Officer Karen Jacobs.
This was another protest by residents after Eskom, once again cut off all illegal connections in the informal settlement on 14 March.
