Protests in Balfour


Protesters in the Province of Balfour Mpumalanga have continued to cause havoc.

Amongst their protests of poor service delivery and broken promises they have gone on the rampage, burning down libraries, stoning houses and wrecking everything insight including streetlamps!

The protesters have intensified their demands and are now calling for the local mayor's (Mabelane Tsotetsi) resignation.

Yesterday afternoon the situation reached boiling point, when police were 'forced' to fire rounds of rubber bullets to disperse an angry mob.

All we can say is we hope this terrible criminal activity is stopped soon before someone gets seriously hurt!
