Update: Umbulwane road now open
After the mayor addressed the unhappy residents, they removed the large rocks and opened the road
The Umbulwane road is now open after protesters blocked the roadway with rocks and burning tyres.
The protest action was allegedly due to the municipality removing an electricity supply box from a home that was supplying illegal connections to others houses in the area.
Residents were up in arms due to not having electricity anymore.
Illegal connections are hazardous, with cables running on the floor and liable to cause harm.
After the mayor addressed the unhappy residents, they removed the large rocks and opened the road.
Burning tyres can still be seen smouldering next to the road.
