Ga-Rankuwa protest called off after meeting with Tshwane officials
10 February 2020
A service delivery protest in Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria, has been called off after community leaders met with Tshwane officials to voice their grievances.
The township came to a standstill on Monday morning after several major roads were blockaded with rubble and burning tyres.
Disgruntled residents took to the streets in the early hours to vent their frustrations over an alleged lack of service delivery in the area.
Residents protested over issues of drugs, crime, housing, electricity, sewerage and roads that have not been tarred or maintained.
