Bellavista and Turffontein residents took their frustrations to the streets on Tuesday morning, April 23 to block roads with burning tyres.
According to residents, the reason for them to protest is that they don’t want ward 55 Clr Rashieda Landis, they want to be accommodated in the new flats and they need jobs especially in the new court.
