MPUMA, KZN RESIDENTS IN SERVICE PROTESTS

Residents in parts of Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal protested over poor service delivery on Monday.

In Luphisi, about 30km outside Nelspruit, residents blocked roads with burning tyres on Monday morning, Mpumalanga police spokesman Sergeant Gerald Sedibe said.

He said protesters were still on the street, but there had been no violence and no one had been arrested.

In KwaMashu, north of Durban, residents burnt tyres.

The protesters had dispersed by Monday afternoon, said KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman Captain Thulani Zwane. Nobody was arrested.
