A protest action turned violent in
Mfuleni on Wednesday night, when residents set a Golden Arrow bus and a truck
alight.
Residents are demanding houses, from
the City of Cape Town as they allege that Khayelitsha residents are given
preference over them.
Residents of Mfuleni say they will
continue with their protest action until the housing situation is dealt with
speedily by the Western Cape government.
Police Spokesperson Thembinkosi
Kinana said according to reports a group of protestors had gathered yesterday
afternoon in the Mfuleni area complaining about service delivery.
Kinana said they then burnt tires
and set alight a rental truck and a bus.
“We are investigating a case of
public violence as no arrests have been mad as yet” Kinana added.
