Somkhele protesters released on bail

FORTY protesters arrested during violent protests at Somkhele last week have been released on free bail on Tuesday.

This has been confirmed by uMkhanyakude police spokesperson, Capt Jabulani Mdletshe.

They appeared in the KwaMsane Regional Court yesterday (Thursday).

Residents protested about a lack of service delivery in the area, especially the provision of water.

Mdletshe said the R618 needed to be attended to by the Department of Transport to repair damage caused by vandalism during the upheaval. This included replacing road signs.
