AVOID: Protesting residents blockade Commissioner Street (Watch video)

Residents of Delmore Gardens have again took to the streets this morning to protest against the government’s move to establish an informal settlement close to their established residential area.

As a result, they have blockaded Commissioner Street with burning tyres, stones, tree branches and other objects, demanding to see the MMC for Human Settlements Lesiba Mpya.

Residents alleges that Mpya failed to attend a public meeting which was supposed to be held on Saturday to discuss the establishment of the informal settlement.

The EMPD, including the K9 unit, and the SAPS responded to the protest and have temporarily closed the stretch of road in both directions.
