Ward councillor Nwabisa Mcwabeni condemned protest action by residents of Nompumelelo in Beacon Bay on Friday, alleging that efforts to bring services to the community had been “sabotaged”. A crowd of about 100 protesters took to the streets early on Friday morning, placing four flaming barricades across the Bonza Bay Road near the entrance to the township.
Buffalo City is sinking under heaps of putrefying trash, but the metro insists that a work-shopped plan of action is in place and only needs to be passed by the city council.
Nompumelelo and Ducats residents have been without water since mid-December and have been queuing outside local businesses that have opened their doors to the community.
