Rubble and tyres were burnt by groups of about 50 to 60 protesters.<\/p>\n<p>As the morning progressed, the protesters moved to the corner of Mew Way and Spine Road in Khayelitsha, Spine Road in Ilitha Park near False Bay College, and Spine Road and Jafta K Masemola in Town Two in Khayelitsha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOld Faure Road at Mew Way and Baden Powell at Jafta K Masemola remain closed to traffic. The N2 highway is open,\u201d Potelwa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the police approached the groups they scattered in different directions only to reconvene afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe burning of tyres and rubble on the roads resulted in road closures and the diversion of traffic,\u201d Potelwa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SAPS is still trying to verify unconfirmed reports of taxi drivers firing warning shots at a group of protesters in Makhaza mid-morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The City said it respects the right of groups to protest, but condemns violence, criminality, thuggery and the destruction of public property and disruption to residents trying to go about their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch actions move us backward and civic organisations and political parties should not condone such behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayco Members for Water and Waste, Xanthea Limberg, and Human Settlements, Malusi Booi, refuted claims of not delivering basic services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe City continues to provide basic water and sanitation services, such as toilets and taps for water, to informal settlements across Cape Town, where possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProviding services is a challenge when, due to unlawful occupation, residents settle on land that is not suitable for the installation of such services,\u201d said Limberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe City is also not allowed to install services on privately-owned land without permission and in these instances, can only install services on the periphery, on City-owned land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe City will continue to work closely with ward councillors and informal settlement leadership structures to unlock additional opportunities for provision of basic water and sanitation, where it is possible to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Booi meanwhile explained that the City is unable to cater for these \u201cnumerous newly established communities are demanding services\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlanned and budgeted projects are prioritised. Assessments of all unlawfully occupied areas are being undertaken and will continue to be undertaken across the metro. Noting that the far greatest majority of the settlements have been established on unsuitable land or land with great constraints for service delivery and land where the installation of bulk services for servicing was never planned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn general, in the City\u2019s existing settlements where the conditions make it possible and in City electricity supply areas, we are surpassing the national benchmarks for service provision. The commitment is there from our side, but it must be possible and it must be done in a planned and ordered manner,\u201c said Booi.<\/p>\n<p>The ANC in the Dullah Omar Region in response called on the DA-led City to stop ignoring the plight of the poor communities in Cape Town and to accelerate service delivery to these areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DA has continued to ignore these communities and side-line them when it comes to service delivery. This is clearly demonstrated by the DA-led City of Cape Town failing to spend it\u2019s budget and sending money back to treasury every single year when it comes to housing, infrastructure development and upgrading informal settlement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe occurrences of the shutdown protests across the City are an indication of the overwhelming frustration that ordinary people on the Cape Flats have with the Democratic Alliance arrogance and incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They cannot continue as if it is business as usual while the people on the ground are clearly demonstrating their dissatisfaction and anger at the status quo. The DA-led administration must provide services to all Capetonians and not only to a select few,\u201c said Vuyiso JJ Tyhalisisu, ANC Dullah Omar Region Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ANC in Dullah Omar also calls on our communities to refrain from destroying the little public infrastructure we have in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DA Western Cape leader Bonginkosi Madikizela lashed out saying that who said that the protests in Khayelitsha do not seem to be related to service delivery at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the Democratic Alliance respects every citizen\u2019s right to protest, we believe that these protest, which causes damage to property and endangers citizen\u2019s lives and livelihoods, are merely politicking and thuggery masked as service delivery protests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on those orchestrating these destructive protests to put the interest of the people before their own, and to consider the terrible impact it has on all residents, especially the poor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with CapeTalk Cape Town Traffic Chief Richard Coleman said that while there protests had stopped, the City of Cape Town Traffic is concerned about a resurgence of protests and disruption during late afternoon peak traffic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are keeping our eye on those protests and have roleplayers in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Cape Argus<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
