Cape Town - Residents caused chaos in Langa for a second day as they demanded houses.
The group burnt tyres and furniture on Bhunga Avenue and Washington Road, and the busy arterial roads were again closed on Tuesday.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, shooting one person in the leg and another in the arm.
Protesters campaigned for housing allocation for a hostel that was being built in the area to be sped up.
They say many of them still live with their parents or in someone’s backyard, and it angers them to see people from other areas getting houses in Langa while they have to wait.
