Two Putco busses have been set alight by angry protesters at Enkangala near Bronkhorstspruit outside Pretoria, the SABC reported on Thursday.

Tshwane metro police spokesman Isaac Mahamba said a crowd of about 500 people barricaded the roads with various objects and forced people out of the busses on Wednesday night.

Warming up excercises before doing the Gautrain?

How quaint. There are much better ways in getting the message across than just torching things...

And then the masses moan when there is no transport....cause you've burnt it all you stupid ****ers!

I'd go so far as to say there aren't many worse ways...

People's propensity to destroy when they don't get their way is something I'll never grasp.

Sasria takes another hit with this. Swines!

Well, I wish they would take the same stance with ALL the toll gates....

 

[Roo!]

I wish they would take the same stance with their politicians! If they don't work then necklace them or even better (and legal) vote them out. Formal logic vs bush logic, sadly the former is in very short supply in this country!

Why burn it if you can just take the copper? I mean criminals are just trying to make a living you know.

Busses aren't made from copper.

I was at the gautrain man!

The bus burning thing, I stopped being angry. This seems to be a culture a 100 years of progress will not eliminate. It's Africa. It's not for pissies.

They burnt out two buses here PE recently (apparently in retaliation for the municipality torching some illegal squatter shacks). When the buses cooled off the Herald (local rag) got some nice photos of the protesters stripping the buses for scrap metal.
