Service delivery is one of the burning issues in our country currently. The latest protest from Kya Sands Informal Settlement can attest to this. 

The residents were singing and chanting struggle songs yesterday and hauling stones at the police during  their demand of houses in the area. They blocked Malibongwe Drive with burning tyres yesterday and now the police are monitoring the situation not to escalate.

“We demanding houses and we want to hear this words from our government that our plea will be granted. We living in bad conditions and we will not budge” said one of angry resident.

The residents met with one official from The City of Johannesburg,where he promised to have a meeting with residents to discuss way forward.

Meanwhile the police are monitoring situation in the area.
