Westonaria protests turning violent

Protests between Randfontein and Westonaria, west of Gauteng have started, and it is best to avoid this area. Reports indicate that riots are out of control, blocking roads and burning tyres. The protest can become intense.

It is another municipal protest. People are unhappy, and more and more protests are happening ahead of the elections to be held in August this year. How will the African National Congress (ANC) deal with all of the destruction?

There have not been many reports about this protest in Westonaria, and it can be assumed that the police and government are focusing on the recent Pretoria and surrounding area riots that caused devastation. With the total media blackout by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), reports on rising protests will not be made public.
