Malamulele town came to a standstill on Monday, when thousands of protestors from the township and all the villages around the town took to the streets. The marchers were protesting after they had learnt that their application to have their own municipality had been turned down by the Municipal Demarcation Board. During the march, all businesses, schools and the whole town came to a halt. Angry residents blocked the streets with burning tyres, metal scraps and rocks. Throughout the day, the police, who were on high alert, maintained their presence with Casspirs and many vans. “The mother of all marches” started at the civic centre, where govern-
ment offices are housed, snaked through the township and finished back at the local stadium. At the stadium, protestors were addressed by leaders, where it was announced that government officials were not there to receive a memorandum. The protest march is a result of a 10-year struggle by the people of Malamulele to have a separate municipality autonomous from the Thulamela Municipality. During the transitional local government period, Malamulele had its own municipality, called the Levubu Shingwedzi TLC. The move by residents is said to have been sparked by a lack of service delivery in the area, nepotism and alleged corruption in the Thulamela Municipality. - Continues on p2
