joburgcityeNCA reports that the Johannesburg Social Movement is set to protest around the city's metro centre on Thursday, and metro police are expecting violent clashes.  

The organisation has called for Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba to resign following the scrapping of the Jozi@Work programme.  Joburg metro police spokesman Wayne Minaar said:  “We are expecting violent clashes in and around the metro centre, because we know that this particular group will be going to protest.  We want to advise motorists and the public to avoid the roads and the areas around the metro centre from about 9am to 3pm.”  There will be hundreds of officers on duty to divert traffic and to control the illegal protest.
