The group of protesters barricaded the P91 road with burning tyres and rocks, just outside the Transnet school of excellence.
The police’s Thabiso Makgato explained: “These protestors are now gathering towards the entrance of Transnet, it’s alleged that the residents want the posts to be re-advertised and the residents of Kaalfontein should be prioritized in these appointments.”
