JOHANNESBURG - Alexandra residents have temporarily called off their protest due to security concerns.
"There's a private security company that's waiting for us, so we don't want to risk the lives of the people. We are not quitting, we're going to go to the Union Buildings to show that this thing is not a political-driven matter." Police in the township say that they remain on high alert to maintain order.
Alexandra police spokesperson Steven Malatji says that while they are working with limited resources they will work to resolve these issues.
It still amazes me how well a community can work together when they want to cause havoc, why has no one ever been able to convert that energy and passion into positive. novote2019 Our_DA = MYANC = EFFSouthAfrica
