A protest by residents of Tembisa on the East Rand has been largely peaceful.

Police say about a hundred people blocked a section of road in the township earlier.

The residents are calling for improvements to basic services.

Officials from the Ekurhuleni Municipality say the demonstration is illegal as no application to protest has been submitted by community leaders.
