The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) has expressed concern over the escalating violence around the country, ahead of the local government elections. We've seen scenes of violent protests and destruction of property, in areas including Tshwane, and Vuwani in Limpopo province. These protests have mainly been sparked off by dissatisfaction with lists of leaders representing these communities in the local government elections, among other things. Joining us on the line to talk further on the matter is Shuvani Nyoni, director of intervention at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR).
