Two arrested following Milnerton public violence

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Cape Town police say two men have been arrested for public violence in Milnerton.

Incidents of stone-throwing and vandalism started earlier this week, in retaliation to the City’s clampdown on traffic offences and taxi operators.

A truck and the Phoenix MyCiti Station were set alight on Friday morning and roads blockaded with burning tyres and rubble.

A kiosk at a bus station was also raided.

On Saturday morning, there have been sporadic flare-ups of public violence in Du Noon and Joe Slovo.

Potsdam Road between Sati/Killarney Road and Malibongwe has again been closed due to incidents of stone-throwing.

Police say their deployments will remain in the area until they are satisfied that the situation has been stabilised.
