A police van was torched in Braamfontein on Tuesday evening after protesters barricaded the area. Police spokesperson Brigadier Mashadi Selepe said the vehicle was on patrol in the area. “I can confirm that the vehicle is on fire. We are busy investigating the cause of the fire. We cannot speculate that it was set alight.” Johannesburg Metro Police Department spokesperson Edna Mamonyane said members of the police were busy cleaning up the area after rocks were used to barricade Jan Smuts Avenue and the corner of Bertha and Jorrisen streets.
