The unending violence in Harrismith has become a nightmare for the residents as community members intensify their protest action.
Residents set a truck alight on the N3 on Wednesday, bringing traffic to a complete standstill.
For weeks now, community members have been demanding access to basic service delivery and to be removed from the Maluti-a-Phofung Municipality.
They have promised to continue demonstrating until President Cyril Ramaphosa intervenes.
Meanwhile, six people have been arrested for public violence and will appear in court on Friday.
