Rubber bullets used on crowd

Western Cape police had to use rubber bullets to disperse a crowd of 250 protesters from the N2 highway near Cape Town on Saturday.

Senior Superintendent Billy Jones said the crowd blockaded the highway on Saturday morning in protest against housing delivery.

"A case of public violence has been opened but no arrests have been made. The road was reopened at about 10:00 and police are on the scene to monitor the situation," said Jones.
