My wife drove to east rand to her mother today to do the washing.
So its a win win, washing gets done and only noise in the house is the generator.

I see on the one Telegram group some rubber bullets have been used on them.
We've had the police around all day and even the helicopter a bit earlier.

After 12 days we have power again.
95% of areas are now back on
