At least four service delivery protests were recorded last week: three in Ehlanzeni towns of Low’s Creek in Barberton, Tonga and Pienaar, and in Kwaggafontein.

The violence that rocked Thembisile Hani Local Municipality in Mpumalanga may resume today, following last week’s shutdown protests that left a trail of destruction in Kwaggafontein, northeast of Pretoria.

The Moloto Road , which connects Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, was blocked off, preventing thousands of people commuting between Pretoria and the former KwaNdebele homeland from going to work and school. “Now, the talk was that the protest would be suspended for the Easter holidays and resume on Tuesday.”

Alfred Skosana, who works in Johannesburg and was home for the Easter holidays, said the road was blocked in the morning and those using Battalion Road to Gauteng had to make a U-turn to connect to R573.
