Etwatwa residents take to the streets

May 25 2010

Residents from Etwatwa, east of Johannesburg, were protesting peacefully against slow service delivery on Tuesday morning, police said.

Constable Timothy Masilela said a group of about 3 000 people were marching to the municipality’s offices in Etwatwa.

“It’s all about service delivery… they say it is very slow,” said Masilela.

“It’s a peaceful march,” he added.

The protesters were planning to hand over a memorandum of demands to a municipal manager on Tuesday afternoon. – Sapa
