Protesters in Khayelitsha burned a police vehicle over electricity access demands, leading to arrests but no injuries.
On October 15, 2025, a protest in Khayelitsha’s Empolweni informal settlement turned violent when about 180 residents set fire to a South African Police Service Nyala vehicle amid demands for electricity access.
Protesters, frustrated by delays in grid connections despite nearby infrastructure, accused the City of Cape Town of obstructing Eskom.
Police were attacked but escaped unharmed; four suspects were charged with attempted murder and property damage.
The city referred questions to Eskom, which said it operates under municipal authority.
Calm has since been restored, with no injuries reported.
