SOUTH AFRICA - Residents in Durban and Soweto took to the streets on Tuesday afternoon in support of Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, as the top cop’s crusade against crime continues to capture the imagination of the country.
The spokeswoman for South Africa's Police Minister Bheki Cele says she has received "racist" and "abusive" phone calls after her minister condemned a violent protest by some white farmers in the small town on Senekal on Tuesday.
Clashes between police and protesters escalated when residents began burning tyres and stoking the flames with flammable liquids on Friday.The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) will maintain a strong presence in Westbury today as residents threatened to continue protesting.
