Ivory Park, Johannesburg – September 11, 2025.

The water strike in Ivory Park has entered another tense day, with protesters blocking several entrances and exits in the township since the early hours of Thursday. While some routes have since been cleared, the main road linking Rabie Ridge and Ivory Park Extension 2 — known as Freedom Drive — remains completely shut down, with demonstrations continuing well into the evening.

According to eyewitness accounts, the protest has taken a volatile turn. Two delivery bike riders attempting to pass through Freedom Drive were stopped and threatened by a group of protesters. Both riders fled the scene, leaving their motorcycles behind, which were seized by the demonstrators. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Witnesses also reported sporadic gunfire from nearby streets, though it remains unclear who was responsible for the shots. So far, there has been no visible law enforcement presence in the affected areas, raising concerns about safety for residents and commuters this evening.

The strike, driven by ongoing frustrations over water shortages in Ivory Park, has intensified community tensions. Residents say they have been without consistent water supply for days, leading to growing unrest.

By Thursday evening, Freedom Drive remained impassable, with protesters vowing to continue their action until their demands are met.

The SAPS in Gauteng Province confirms a tragic incident in which a police constable took his nephew hostage before fatally shooting him and then turning the gun on himself during a standoff in Mamelodi East on Tuesday, 09 September 2025.

The Police responded to the hostage situation at about 08:00. Witnesses reported that the constable had fired two shots before police arrived and had refused to allow his 69-year-old mother and 18-year-old nephew to leave the house. It was later established that only three people were inside the residence.

Hostage negotiators managed to secure the release of the constable’s mother at approximately 23:00. She was treated by paramedics at the scene before being transported to hospital for further medical care.

The situation escalated just before midnight as the Special Task Force (STF) prepared to enter the house. While negotiations were still underway, two gunshots were heard from inside. STF members immediately entered and discovered the body of the 32-year-old constable. A further search of the premises revealed the body of his 18-year-old nephew, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

The SAPS Employee Health and Wellness unit was on scene and will continue providing psychosocial support to the family and the constable’s colleagues.

A case of murder, kidnapping, and an inquest has been opened at the Mamelodi East Police Station. The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) has been informed.

The deceased has been identified as Constable Thapelo Mashigo (32), who was attached to Boschkop police station and deployed to the regional Essential Infrastructure Task Team. He joined the Service in 2019.
