Six people were arrested during a service delivery protest in Palm Ridge near Katlehong on Monday, said Gauteng police.

Shortly after midnight residents began protesting against a lack of electricity, toilets and water, said Sergeant Obakeng Tsomane.

The protesters used stones and burning tyres to block roads. When a police van arrived on the scene it was pelted with stones.

This prompted police to make arrests.

Tsomane said no one was injured during the protests or police arrests and the crowd was dispersed without the use of rubber bullets.
