The situation in Mamelodi East in Pretoria is quiet following violent protests earlier. Captain Johannes Maheso says the police are still monitoring the situation but it has been quiet since yesterday afternoon. City of Tshwane spokesman Console Tleane said yesterday that protesters fired live ammunition at firemen, pelted police with stones and barricaded several roads in Mamelodi East. The protests are apparently related to residents' impatience about a backlog in government housing.
