Johannesburg – The Tshepisong informal settlement in Leratong, on the West Rand, was quiet early on Friday following a protest over an electricity cut, Johannesburg metro police said.

“Nothing is happening. It is quiet there,” said Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.

On Thursday, protesters from the settlement had torched a truck.

Police said residents were protesting because they had been without electricity since last Saturday.

No arrests were made.
