WESTERN CAPE - Public Order Policing members have been deployed to maintain law and order in areas where violence has erupted during protest action this morning. The affected areas are Malibu village and Wallacedene in Kraaifontein and the incidents are possibly sparked by service delivery related issues.

In Wallacedene a suspected male protestor who is yet to be identified was killed when he was struck by a truck. The circumstances surrounding the culpable homicide case are under investigation. In Malibu Village a case of public violence has been registered after a bus has been set alight, and suspects are yet to be arrested.

Our forces will remain in the affected areas until tranquillity has been restored.
