According to law enforcement, demonstrations broke out in Joe Slovo, Milnerton, after officers removed illegally erected structures on Sunday morning.

Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato said officers and vehicles were also stoned in a protest in Khayelitsha on Saturday.

‘The City cannot continue to repair facilities that have been destroyed by a selfish few. We cannot condone this criminal behaviour. I call on the community to report these persons who torched the facility to SAPS,’ said Councillor @ZahidBadroodien. pic.twitter.com/hfRpN4ua5s It's understood the protest started after law enforcement tore down structures in a newly formed settlement in Makhaza.

“It’s city-owned land that is earmarked for development, it's on our budget. We will be building and get a contractor on site but now they are trying to invade that particular site.”
