AfriForum assists law enforcement during unrest in Pretoria
1 July 2022
AfriForum's Community Safety division assisted law enforcement officers during a violent protest action that broke out in the west of Pretoria the past week.
Residents of the Gomorrah informal settlement are angry because their demands for service delivery have not yet been granted. Community members invaded nearby neighborhoods such as Booysens and destroyed homes and property.
AfriForum deployed drones on the request of the Tshwane Metro in the worst-affected areas.
The use of the drones gave law enforcers a clear and direct picture of what the situation was in the broader area, and in doing so, they were able to get ahead of the protesters in various areas.
