Kimberley protests
Police monitoring Kimberley after protest
Community members protested against Mayor Mangaliso Matika’s stay in office earlier on Monday.
Schools in the Sol Plaatje Municipality had to close on Monday due to the unrest in the area, which saw roads being barricaded.
Law enforcement officers are monitoring the situation, trying to unblock roads that have been barricaded by protesters, mainly in Galeshewe.
Mangaliso Matika was removed following a majority council vote on Wednesday following violent protests against his leadership in the province's capital city.
