Hermanus riots

It stemmed from the land grab on Thursday. A march was held to the Municiplaity to demand water and electricity to the 'plots' and it's gone nuts from there.

Ah, so just another 'its won't be like that, CR said so', 'you're paranoid', 'wait and see', 'there won't be landgrabs', 'Saint Julius said so' situation...

Nothing to see here

Police reinforcements were monitoring a “tense” atmosphere on Monday after an attempted land invasion was halted in Hermanus.

At least 25 people were arrested in the town on the southern Cape coast after scores of people marked out plots on vacant land.

Overberg police commander brigadier Donovan Heilbron said the situation was still tense on Monday and that police would meet with community members in the area to restore calm.

“Nine suspects are appearing in court this morning on charges of public violence and for being in possession of dangerous weapons. The police have increased deployment and a further contingent (Public Violence Unit) joined them last night. Let’s give law enforcement agencies the opportunity to do their work without any interference‚” said Heilbron.

Yeah, it's pretty hectic. Police helicopter on the scene now. Wife spoke to her friend schitting herself and locked in her house in Zwelihle, apparently a lot of people saying it's not locals causing the trouble.
