Protesting residents of the Kokotela informal settlement in Lawley extension two, in the south of Johannesburg, have blocked off key roads (Walter road and the R558) in the area.
They are protesting over the City’s decision to evict them from the area.
About 80 shacks have been demolished by the notorious red ants on Thursday.
Approximately 200 protesters are chanting and singing freedom songs – in clear violation of several lockdown rules.
Members of saps and metro police are closely monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile, Gauteng MEC for cooperative governance and traditional affairs Lebogang Maile and Joburg mayor Geoff Makhubo are expected to address the affected residents on Sunday.
