KwaDukuza mayor urges protesters to respect rights of others
KwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthembu says while residents have a right to air their grievances they should not inconvenience or intimidate others when doing so.
There's been a service delivery protest in Glenhills, where residents have been unable to leave the area since Saturday - as angry protesters blocked all entry and exit points to the area.
The demonstration is understood to be over housing and unemployment.
"People have got a right to go to work, children have got a right to go to school. There are ways of addressing issues because at the end of the day, we ended up in a meeting and not on the road," he said.
Mthembu has since met with the protesters and he says they've come to an agreement.
"I made a commitment and I have established committees that are going to be working with the community of Rocky Park to address what they have raised [with] me,'' he added.
