CAPE TOWN - As residents of Alexandra took to the streets to demand better housing and services on Wednesday, Municipal IQ reports Gauteng is still the nation's biggest hotspot for such community action.Similar protests in Cape Town suburbs started in Kensington last year.
In 2017 alone, the province accounted for more than a third of all reported service delivery protests nationwide. The second highest incidence of protests on record happened in 2014 and it’s no coincidence that was an election year too.
Interesting that your analyst says there is no connection. The data clearly shows an uptick. Common sense supports the view. Has anyone actually gone out and asked each protester 'why are you protesting now?' No. Because that would be daft. Fowzia_SSA
