Gauteng, with 30% of all protests in the country, is the most prominent, as it has been historically. It is followed by the Eastern Cape with 19% and KZN with 18%, according to Municipal IQ. Picture: CRIME AIR NETWORK via TWITTER
“Protests have increased significantly in 2022 and at the current rate may well reach the record numbers seen before Covid in 2018 and 2019,” said MD Kevin Allan. “This shows the artificial dampening effect of Covid on protest activity and that nothing fundamental has changed in protest-prone communities.”
“While Municipal IQ’s historical data on protests shows protest activity often increases in winter, this is a big jump and an ominous sign that protest activity is probably set to continue across the country for the rest of the year.” Allan expressed frustration with the government’s response to protests, particularly the one in Thembisa this week, and scepticism with the assertion by some government officials that it was politically orchestrated.
Municipal and IQ in the same sentence!?
