Since Monday residents in areas such as Taiwan in Site C, Nkanini and Makhaza have blocked roads with burning barricades after the city council removed open toilets in Makhaza.
The council had enclosed the toilets last week, but residents led by ANC Youth League leaders in Makhaza demolished the corrugated iron enclosures - demanding concrete structures.
Police were again out in force on Wednesday patrolling hot spots where burned tyres and rubble were evidence of the protests.
