The New Age reports that the situation was calm in Botleng township and the neighbouring areas of Delmas on Tuesday following a violent protest on Monday morning.  

Residents went on the rampage demanding that a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) college be built in the township as in other neighbouring municipalities.  The protest saw a tanker travelling on the N12 being hijacked and set alight by the protesters after they blockaded the national road.  They also blocked other alternative routes such as the R42 and R555 with burning tyres, rocks and other objects.  There were no injuries reported during the unrest after a large number of police were despatched to monitor the situation.
