“The group of protesters seems hell-bent on disrupting the peace of our residents and causing malicious damage to properties, with no intention of engaging with the metro,” said mayoral spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.
“We initiated a meeting with the group of protesters and wanted to meet with the leadership, but not only did they fail to present the leadership, they could not articulate the reason for the protest.
“In fact, they resorted to more violence and disruptive behaviour.”
Dlamini said the municipality remains willing to meet with the protesters, to engage on what could be their concerns.
Ekurhuleni Metro Police will continue to monitor the situation.
