Diepkloof residents threaten to resume demonstration if City of Joburg doesn’t meet demands! Some residents of Diepkloof said they’re ready to return to the streets, warning that if the government remains silent, so will their patience.
Monday’s protest over housing claimed two lives as trucks were looted, and police raided hostels into the night.
Police said the driver of one of the looted trucks carrying tinned fish ploughed through a crowd in an attempt to escape the looting, injuring several people.

Diepkloof residents said they’ve heard the city’s explanations about private land deals and R8 million price tags, but if nothing changes soon, they’ll be back on the streets.
They say they’re not just fighting for houses but now, for the memory of those who died.
Some describe the scenes from Monday as a tragedy and a tipping point.
Community leader Sanele Msibi said, “But for now we have suspended our protest action, but if government doesn’t do what they must do, we will carry on. We don’t have a choice, we will carry on,” said Msibi.
