The situation has become volatile in the Lenasia South region of Ennerdale in Johannesburg, as protests have engulfed major routes through to the city. It has been reported that blockades made from debris and burning tyres have caused a serious traffic nightmare for commuters on Thursday morning.
Although we’re awaiting official verification, it seems that the protests are linked to a recent spate of land invasions in Lenasia. The acts of land occupation have split the community, who also have their grievances with service delivery in the area and a rising tide of criminal activity.
