Chaos erupts during service delivery march to civic centre
Cape Times
|October 09, 2025
PROTESTING Khayelitsha residents have given the City and the provincial government seven days to respond to their memorandum demanding increased delivery of basic services.
Their march to the Civic Centre got off to a rough start when residents and police clashed yesterday.
Hundreds of marchers, led by councillors Lonwabo Mqina, Khayalethu Kama, Thando Mpengezi and Ndithini Thyido, arrived at the Civic Centre singing struggle songs.
Moments later, tension flared when a few protesters were pepper-sprayed as they tried to walk up the stairs to demand that the mayor receive their memorandum in person.
Their demands include the completion of the Kuyasa Retrofit Project, electrification of informal settlements, installation of new and maintenance of existing high-mast lights among others.
