Traffic severely affected after “land grabs” row – Protesters have been throwing rocks at cars as violent protests escalate in the Lenasia area of Johannesburg, causing a traffic nightmare for commuters

Posted on Leave a comment

The situation has become volatile in the Lenasia South region of Ennerdale in Johannesburg, as protests have engulfed major routes through to the city. It has been reported that blockades made from debris and burning tyres have caused a serious traffic nightmare for commuters on Thursday morning.

Although we’re awaiting official verification, it seems that the protests are linked to a recent spate of land invasions in Lenasia. The acts of land occupation have split the community, who also have their grievances with service delivery in the area and a rising tide of criminal activity.

Johannesburg traffic latest news for Thursday 1 August:

The R558 through Lenasia South has been blocked off by protesters.

Burning tyres have also been spotted on the K43 and Old Lawley Road.

Travel through Lenasia, Lawley and Ennerdale has been severely affected. Although some roads have re-opened, the flow of traffic remains heavy.

Reporters are not safe in the country anymore:- M-Net’s Carte Blanche TV crew held and robbed at gunpoint

Posted on Leave a comment

The crime rate is quite alarming and no one is spared the assault. On duty M-Net’s Carte Blanche TV crew is held and robbed at gunpoint in Johannesburg.

According to a report by News24: A new surveillance camera system, Vumacam from Vumatel, is being rolled out in the Johannesburg central business district (CBD) and surrounding suburbs as an R500 million high-tech solution to South Africa’s rising crime rates, but some people are objecting over privacy concerns.

Radio presenter Masa Kekana joined Carte Blanche to do her first insert as a guest presenter but then endured a baptism of fire when Kekana and the crew suddenly became a crime statistic after they were held up and robbed at gunpoint with no visual footage to show for it.

Kekana interviewed spokesperson Murray Hunter of the civil rights organisation Right2Know (R2K) on a suburb street corner in Johannesburg with cameraman Thabo Maleswene.

A Vumacam street pole was already ere

Criminals target Johannesburg clinics, facilities without electricity after cable theft – Services at the clinic have been temporarily suspended

Posted on Leave a comment

The Westbury clinic in Johannesburg was left without electricity after it was tampered with the facility’s main power cable said the health and social development department on Wednesday.

The clinic’s operating manager said in a statement he saw an unknown man running from the building on Tuesday afternoon after a loud blow noise was heard. He also noted smoke from the same direction as the bang.

“The fire brigade was called for precaution and the patients were evacuated. It was a relief to know that there was no fire and the smoke was of wires that burned when the cables were cut, “the department added.

Due to damage to the main power cable, the generator, which serves as backup, could not be switched on.

Services at the clinic have been temporarily suspended and all vaccines have been sent to a nearby clinic for storage.

City Power is working to restore power to the clinic.
