25 April 2018
Several roads in Cape Town and the Overberg have been closed after protesters blockaded them with burning tyres and threw stones and bricks at cars on Wednesday morning, officials said.
In Pelican Park six people were arrested for public violence, said Western Cape police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut.
This was after about 200 protesters "attempted to disrupt the traffic and peace".
Residents in the area reported being stuck in their homes because of the blocked roads and tear gas being used to disperse the group.
