TMPD monitoring Ladium protest

The protest started in Itereleng next to Ladium, with the community blocking the entrance to the township with burning tyres.

Police say reports that a man had died are false.

Tshwane MMC for Human Settlements Mandla Nkomo says residents are protesting over a lack of electricity.

“The community says it was promised electricity that was supposed to be done early this year and they are demanding the electricity. I addressed the community and we agreed a committee will meet with them tomorrow morning to discuss their demands,” says Nkomo.
