THESE young pupils are fed up!
On Wednesday, they rolled up their sleeves and removed stones from the road.
The stones were left on Monday during a service delivery protest in Toekomsrus near Randfontein, Gauteng.
“I don’t know why the adults block the road, because we also have a right to use it.
“When I grow up I want to be a doctor.
“Now the protesters are trying to stop me from realising my dream,” said a 12-year-old grade 5 pupil in the area.
Randfontein chief traffic officer Kenny Mampondo told Daily Sun: “What is good is that the kids saw us clearing the busy R28 leading to Joburg and they just joined in.
“We had to ensure they were safe as they helped to clear the road.
“It was nice to hear kids say the violent protest are damaging the roads.
“We had a discussion with them, and we all agreed that damaged roads cause potholes and ultimately lead to accidents.”
