ALL  roads leading to Booysen Park, Port Elizabeth, were blocked off by protesting residents on Monday morning (14/09/16).

An Algoa Bus was also set alight as angry residents took to the streets, demanding houses.

Stanford Road and Nooitgedacth Road were also affected and Bloemendal Arterial Road was closed on both sides.

By late morning, police used water cannons, teargas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.

Protesters are now throwing petrol bombs at the police, reports
