The African National Congress in the Western Cape
ANC’s Songezo Mjongile said they understand
the people’s frustration but do not support the means they use to vent their
rage.
Residents on Wednesday burnt the fire
station and eleven people have been arrested since the start of the protest
action this week.
Mjongile added that they believe that the current
situation could have been avoided if the municipality and provincial government
would have given an ear to the concerns of the community.
“We are equally calling for calm from the
leadership of the community that the current situation is unacceptable, where
there is violence and where kids are not being allowed to attend school.
Which we think its count productive, we believe
that the leadership of the area, can do better by managing the expectations of
the community, but also not allowing the situation to get out of hand.”
Mjongile said.
