Residents protest over failed services

|August 01, 2025
PROTEST action continued in Tyson Street yesterday, despite Sol Plaatje municipal manager Thapelo Matlala donning his gumboots to inspect leaking sewage, littered streets, and blocked drains in Galeshewe earlier this week.
The road has been obstructed with rocks and burning tyres since July 29, with protesters claiming that around 6,000 residents in the ward are suffering due to service delivery failures, high unemployment, and escalating crime and drug abuse in the area.
A strong police presence continues to monitor the area.
Situation volatile
SAPS Northern Cape spokesperson Colonel Cherelle Ehlers said yesterday that the situation remained volatile.
"Members from the Kimberley Public Order Police dispersed a crowd of protesters in Tyson Street in Galeshewe on July 30 at approximately 7pm. The protesters reportedly barricaded the road with burning tyres and rocks. No arrests were made and no injuries were reported," said Ehlers.
She added that the police remained on high alert and would continue to monitor the situation.
