Police fired rubber bullets at protesting Makhaza residents in Khayelitsha after they burned barricades because City of Cape Town workers destroyed temporary structures around toilets in the area.
On Monday morning residents from Zone 14 in Makhaza and the Nkanini settlement of Makhaza burnt tyres.
They marched towards Baden Powell Drive where the city workers were dismantling the toilets.
The group then turned around and marched back to the area where they burnt rubbish and tyres in the streets as city authorities stood around the toilets.
By noon, a heavy police presence monitored Makhaza, although most of the protesters had dispersed.
