Traffic between Breidbach and government’s State House in Bhisho was disrupted as residents of the township protested over housing.

About 50 protesters, under the banner of the Breidbach Home Seekers, closed of a lane on the main road leading to the province’s seat of government.

According to community leader Denzel Smith the Buffalo City Metro had identified land for building houses but defaulted on the promise.


Last month the residents embarked on a violent protest that shutdown the N2 as petrol bombs and rubber bullets flew.
