Protestors have set the home affairs building alight in Germiston in Ekurhuleni.
The volatile protests erupted in the Germiston CBD on Tuesday morning.
City of Ekurhuleni media liaison officer William Ntladi said several streets had been affected.
“Home Affairs’ building is well alight. This is a two-story building currently. The top section is the one that is well alight, the bottom one, we are still battling to break in and go and see what is happening,” confirmed Ntladi.
“So resources are here, multiple stations with multiple vehicles and a number of firefighters are on site.
“In terms of the street operations, President Street and Jack Street are closed for traffic, and all the buildings nearby have been closed for safety and operational purposes.
