Protests have been ongoing for three consecutive days. On Monday (24 June) two separate protests erupted in Ikageng, one in Ward 06 where protestors demanded the resignation of the ward councilor and one where the youth of Ward 19 protested over stand allocation. The incident with the excavator seems to be a continuation of the Ward 19 protests.
Victor Boqo said on Monday that the Mayor is out of town attending a meeting. It is not clear if he has returned to deal with the protestors.
