Don’t burn infrastructure when protesting
Government official urges protesters to protest peacefully and not to destroy infrastructure.
PUBLIC Service and Administration director general, Mashwahle Diphofa, has called on the youth not to burn or destroy infrastructure when protesting.
Speaking in Kokosi township, in Merafong, Diphofa told the youth that it is not necessary to destroy infrastructure when protesting.
“If you want to protest, do it peacefully within the confinement of the law,” he said, adding that government cares for them and that it’s there to serve them.
“Our constitution allows those who have concerns to raise them through various avenues, including the right to protest peacefully. We call on communities to express their concerns within the bounds of the law. When infrastructure is destroyed communities are deprived of a chance of a better life,” Diphofa said.
