Petsana at Reitz in the Free State was quiet on Wednesday morning after protests and a stayaway from work the day before, police said.
Sergeant Mmako Mophiring said that according to police on the scene, schooling was going on as usual in Petsana, and workers had returned to work.
”There is no disruption, but we are still monitoring the situation,” he said.
Police arrested 49 people during Tuesday’s protests and stayaway action on charges including public violence through to possession of suspected stolen goods.
On Tuesday, residents in Petsana blocked the access roads to the township in a protest against poor service delivery.
Roads were blocked with burning tyres, huge concrete pipes and stones. Stones were thrown at police vehicles patrolling the area.
The protest and stayaway left Reitz almost a ghost town on Tuesday. — Sapa
