Voting delayed Springs
Voting in the national and provincial elections was still to get under way by 8.30am at Everest informal settlement in Springs, east of Johannesburg.
About 20 voters started to queue at 8am.
"I woke up early to vote only to be told that there was no place to cast my vote," said Lucas Hlongwane.
About ten young people told Sapa that they were not going to vote.
"This government is useless. Why should I vote? Nothing has changed, and we still live like pigs.
There is no running water or toilets," said disgruntled resident Phumlani Radebe.
Some of the nearby residents carried on with their normal household chores, such as washing.
"Today is like any other day, I am doing my washing and after that I am going to buy a couple of beers and stand here on my stoep
and watch these sell-outs vote," said Dumisani Khumalo.
A strong contingent of police continued to keep watch in the area.
Gugulethu on the East Rand was the scene of public violence on Monday night after protesters torched a Transnet building.
Forty-six people have been arrested for public violence after residents of the informal settlement blocked streets with burning tyres and rocks.
Several vehicles were reported to have been stoned, but no injuries reported.
The reason for the protests was not immediately clear, police said.
