Nellmapius residents protest against evictions
Updated | By Lonwabo Miso
"The protesters gathered very early in the morning and burnt tyres along Solomon Mahlangu Drive," said Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba.
"Road signs and some traffic lights were destroyed before police arrived."
Large groups of people converged in Nellmapius two weeks ago demanding they be given free land to build their own houses.
The City of Tshwane then obtained a court interdict prohibiting the occupation of the land.
Mahamba said the road had been cleared.
"Police are keeping an eye on activities in the area," he said.
No one was arrested and no injuries were reported.
