Four people died during the demonstrations over an increase in rates along with higher electricity prices.
Protesters went on the rampage this week, with four people killed in the violence.
Gauteng Cooperative Governance MEC Lebogang Maile addressed the community on Wednesday afternoon and vowed to address their complaints, but some residents responded by lighting a fire and demanding to see Campbell.
Gauteng Cogta MEC Lebogang Maile said there is very little the municipality can do about grievances over electricity and water tariff increases.
Protesting community members blocked off roads around the township with burning tyres and rocks, saying that municipal rates are too high and unaffordable.
