In a quest to halt break-ins and promote safety in their neighbourhood, enraged residents from A section in Lingelethu-West, have barricaded several roads with sand and stones on Friday 8 August. The affected streets include Thulani, Luleka and Vuyani.

The residents voiced concerns about rampant crime in their community. They said break-ins have surged to unacceptable levels and vowed to keep the streets off-limits indefinitely. The move will drastically cut movement in and out of the area.
