Clinics and community vaccination sites in Durban were closed on Monday as protesters continued to go on the rampage in and around the city.

The eThekwini municipality said it closed its clinics due to threats directed at health facilities in the city.

“The ongoing civil unrest has also affected community vaccination sites which have been unable to operate today. The municipality will reassess the situation during the day and advise the public accordingly.” Residents who qualify for phase 2 of the vaccination rollout, which includes those aged 50 and above, were urged to continue to register to receive the vaccine.

Police and private security companies battled to disperse protesters from Friday when the protest action, themed #FreeJacobZuma and #KZNShutdown on social media, saw violence erupting across the province. It has since spread to Gauteng. A number of government building closed early as well as banks operating in malls throughout the city.
