Well, they voted ANC, what did they expect? A party which is corrupt from the president down to the last town councillor?

It is grossly unfair for them to strike and protest like this. They knew full well what the ANC stands for and now when the ANC acts according to its colours, they protest. That is wrong.

They got the local government they voted for. They have their freedom now. No more oppression. They should shut up and start doing something productive (other than breeding of course).

Name & Shame them...

So, where is the "People's President"? and why doesn't he go to address the problems of these destructive thugs? After all, they voted him and his croniees into power, knowing that their situation has not been improved in 15 years.
I am so sick and tired of these violent protests and the wanton destruction that these rioters cause.
Our taxes helped to pay for the municipal buildings that they torched. i hope that they aren't expecting them to be rebuilt - they should be made to suffer the consequences of their actions.
It's high time the people of this country realised and understood that you get what you ask for. And, as the majority of the people of this country asked for the ANC government and Mr Zuma as president then they should sit down, shut up and live with the consequences of their choice.
Bet you Mr Zuma won't go anywhere near the area though - even with his huge entourage of security people! Even he won't be able to think up of enough lies to calm the situation.

You first need to find out [who is] behind these protests and what exactly they are protesting about," said Shongwe

Angry residents are behind these protests

The onus is on leaders to lead by example. This barbaric acts can be avoided if these elected official begin to respect and treat people seriously and avoid fooling around.It's unfortunate for people to venge their anger by destroying public property which takes so much resourses to build.I dont think an ordinary learned person would burn his own house. Only a stupid or insane person wud do such stupidity. All parties are to blame and it should be a lesson to other officials not to fool around.

whites are behind this crazyness as we all know african are very loving peaceful nation.

Your comment is so pitiful that I wonder what you as an outsider think of the human race.
