Mdantsane protest halts traffic (video)
Video still: Loyisio Mantewu
A service delivery protest erupted in Mdantsane on Friday morning. Dispatch reader Loyiso Mantewu captured the drama on camera on his way to collect his friend Innocent Kaukungwa in Mdantsane for work at 06:30am.Held-up with a number of motorists who couldn’t pass through the Qumza Highway due to the protest, Mantewu grabbed his video camera and spoke to a few of the protestors to find out what was happening. After 20 minutes, Mantewu left the scene and took an alternative route to collect Kaukungwa.
“I jumped out [my car] and started taking pictures and video … there were no police.” says Mantewu.
By late morning, municipal workers were already clearing-up the remains of the protest and official comment on the incident is still pending.

Hau – But whyyy u vote anc for failure to deliva…. As jy dom is moet jy voel
What are they protesting for?
The leaders they wanted are in control.
If you vote them in you must be prepared to take what comes.
I fail to understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karma calling!
This is hillarious. I was part of the alterations to the NU1 police station and i had a chance to mingle with the locals. one sickly labourer told me that she lives in a shack and hasn’t had a job in more than 8 years but she’ll forever vote anc. I asked her why and she said “The anc has improved my life”… (I hope you get the Irony..)
Education – SA will never get anywhere until the masses are educated, good job ANC, stirling job at keeping the masses dumb!
