JOHANNESBURG - Protest action in parts of Soweto appears to have died down after a morning of disruptions.

While protestors were nowhere to be seen, there was still some evidence of their activity, with tyres and rocks still scattered across roads.Police are still visible on Chris Hani Road as clean-up operations continue.Meanwhile, one of the organisers of the protest, Nhlanhla "Lux" Dlamini, said that they would march to the office of the mayor on Tuesday to make sure their voices are heard.

Dlamini said that local leadership in Soweto gathered on Monday to devise a plan on how to push forward with making their grievances heard. "What we've done as local leadership is said 'guys, let's define the problem and let's go to whoever is causing the problem' and what we're doing tomorrow on the 21st is marching as a community in Soweto to the mayor's office to say 'you are Gauteng's number one citizen, here are the problems what can we call do for a general solution?' So there's a big march tomorrow," Dlamini said.
