Heavily armed Cape Town metro police officers are patrolling Lansdowne Road in Khayelitsha.
This after residents of the BT squatter camp in Site C threatened to continue protests over service delivery.
They are demanding that the City of Cape Town relocate them to a serviced site. But it appears as if things are returning to normal and traffic is now flowing freely under the watchful eye of the police.
Last week, residents barricaded the road with burning tyres and shipping containers in a bid to gain the attention of city officials.
Residents are demanding to be removed from their current site. They are also complaining that as long as they have lived in the area, they have never seen service delivery.
The residents told Eyewitness News they rely on illegal connections to get electricity.
