Metrorail cancels trains in Soweto due to protest

Metrorail train services operating in Soweto between New Canada, Dube and Mzimhlophe were on Monday morning suspended Monday morning during peak hours because of a service delivery protest. It was not immediately clear what the protesters were demanding, but the unrest began in the early hours of the morning. Residents went on to barricade major roads leading out of Soweto with burning tyres and rocks.
