accreditation

Protesters blocked several streets in Atteridgeville on Friday morning, preventing residents from going to work, Gauteng police said.

They also threw rocks and burned tyres, said spokersperson Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini.

“We are not yet sure why they are protesting. We are not sure whether it about the [xenophobia] march,” he said.

He could also not give an estimate of how many were taking part at this stage but said police were monitoring the situation.

The police were investigating reports of a newspaper truck that was looted.
