Squatters resist Red Ants in Boksburg

Squatters burned tyres, threw stones and toyi-toyied in Boksburg on Wednesday when security guards, known as the ”Red Ants”, moved in to evict them and demolish their shacks. Incidents of violence were isolated and ”no major resistance” was being shown by the 6 000 squatters, said Ekurhuleni metro police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Wilfred Kgasago.
