Vision Tactical units were on standby in Orange Grove after reports of a protest in the area.

Together with the South African Police Service and the Johannesburg Metro Police Department, officials monitored the situation in the area after dispersing protesters who were blocking Louis Botha Avenue on Thursday morning during peak hour traffic.

Residents handed over a memorandum reportedly demanding that Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba allocate them houses and convert unused government buildings into RDP houses.
