Angry Diepsloot residents are again taking to the streets to protest against high crime levels.
Diepsloot residents once again took to the streets in protest against crime in the area on Friday afternoon.
A police crisis response team was deployed in the area after a series of volatile protests in June, but according to the march organiser police presence has waned - resulting in an uptick in crime.
About 300 protestors marched through the township’s streets demanding the return of tactical response team officers.
Diepsloot community members have given authorities seven days to respond to their demands for interventions to curb the spate of killings in the township.
