Cops get tough on protests
Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00
Service delivery protests in Palm Ridge near Evaton have
resulted in 61 arrests and 15 injuries, Gauteng police said on
Tuesday.
The residents were arrested on Monday after protesting a lack of
electricity, toilets and water, said Constable Lindelani Dladla.
She said 15 people were injured when police fired rubber bullets
after residents pelted police vans with stones.
Protesters had dispersed and the situation was quiet and "back
to normal" by Monday afternoon, said Dladla.
Those arrested would appear in the Alberton Magistrate's Court
on Tuesday.
