PROTESTERS burning tyres and blocking roads in two separate incidents in Langa and Ravensmead, Cape Town, kept police officials busy earlier today, Western Cape police said.
Spokesperson FC van Wyk said two cases of public violence had been opened, but did not confirm if any arrests were made.
In Langa, about 40 members of the community burned tyres in Bluegum Road when they demanded to occupy houses lawfully occupied by residents.
He said the situation had been brought under control, but police remained at the scene to monitor the situation.
In Ravensmead, roughly 10km from Langa, taxi drivers protested on the corner of Connaught and Owen roads.
A meeting was held between police officials, community leaders and protesters to remedy the situation in Ravensmead, Van Wyk said.
It was not clear what the demands of the taxi drivers were.
