Community leaders say they have to intensify their efforts during the protests so that the government could finally heed their calls.

"We are not waiting for anyone but the Minister for Cogta Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Dr Enoch Godongwana for them to come and tell us when they are planning to dissolve this municipality," said protest leader Solomzi Nkwentsha

The shutdown is expected to continue.
