ANC to meet Mpumalanga residents in bid to stop violent protests

The ANC’s top brass in Mpumalanga will today engage the residents of the Thembisile Hani local municipality, against the backdrop of violent service delivery protests sweeping across the country.

The protests, sparked by lack of water, have since spread to the neighbouring Dr JS Moroka Municipality’s Watervaal and Machiding villages, where three municipal vehicles were torched and other equipment damaged. “They made the security guards choose between allowing them to burn the vehicles and themselves being burnt. The guards allowed them in to destroy what they wanted before leaving,” he said.

He said that in some cases, infrastructure was deliberately neglected or tampered with so that there was a need for the mobile distribution of water.
