Fury over violent protests in Cape Town CBD


 The City of Cape Town plans to sue ANC councillors involved in the violent protest that caused chaos in the CBD on Wednesday

Mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith said ANC councillor Loyiso Nkhola along with former ANC councillor Andile Lili, were the “main instigators” behind the protest turning violent.

More than 3 000 people marched to the Western Cape Legislature to hand over a memorandum to Premier Helen Zille, demanding housing and more land for squatters.

However, the march turned into chaos when splinter groups looted the city’s informal traders, while many shops in the city centre were forced to close their doors.

Nkhola and Lili were previously identified as the main instigators in the Western Cape's so-called poo wars.
