KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport‚ Community Safety and Liaison Mxolisi Kaunda has warned that those responsible for the violent protest in Durban on Saturday morning in which two people were seriously injured will face the full might of the law. Protesters blocked the main road near the Umngeni Interchange‚ stoned vehicles and set alight a municipal truck as well as a bus with 15 passengers on board.Two of the passengers on the bus‚ which was ferrying passengers from Ntuzuma to the city‚ were seriously injured and had to be admitted to a local hospital‚ Kaunda said.Paramedics however put the total number of injured at 13.Kaunda warned that such acts of criminality would not be tolerated by the provincial government and that harsh action would be taken against the perpetrators. “We strongly condemn such acts and we are currently tightening our legislations to ensure that those responsible for this face the full might of the law.“We are working closely with the police and all relevant stakeholders to ensure that such illegal and violent protests are dealt with accordingly‚” he stated.According to an eThekwini Metro Police officer‚ protesters from the Kennedy Road informal settlement were unhappy about the breaking down of shacks in the settlement on Friday.According to Rescue Care advanced life support paramedic Ceron Lennox‚ who was on the scene‚ 13 people were injured."The bus was well alight when my crew arrived. We were first on scene with the SAPS. The patients were transported to various hospitals. Some had minor burns‚ some smoke inhalation [and] some had scratches and bruises from jumping out of the bus to get away‚" said Lennox.SAPS spokesman Major Thulani Zwane said: “It started after people from Kennedy Road were complaining that their shacks were demolished. They set fire to a municipal bus‚ apparently two people were injured in the fire‚ but I am awaiting confirmation of that.”Zwane said a municipal vehicle was set alight in the same area on Friday‚ in protest linked to shack demolitions.“It looks like they are targeting municipal vehicles.”TMG Digital/Durban Newsroom..
