There's a strong police presence in Isipingo, south of Durban, after violent protest action erupted again on Friday morning.
About 100 disgruntled community members have gathered on the side of Khan and Old Main Roads.
They're waiting for City officials to come and address them.
Although calm has been restored, Durban Metro Police spokesperson Parboo Sewpersad says the demonstrations were chaotic earlier, with access to motorists blocked from Isipingo Rail.
