Du Noon residents demand better service

Service delivery protests broke out at the Du Noon informal settlement near Milnerton on Tuesday morning, with residents burning tyres and blockading roads, Western Cape police said.

Inspector Daphne Dell said residents set tyres on fire at about 5am.

"Even though it is a bit peaceful now, there is a possibility that the violence could spread to nearby site 5," Dell said.

When Sapa contacted Dell, she was still trying to make her way through the blocked roads entering the area.

Residents are said to be unhappy with services provided by the local municipality. - Sapa
