South African police officers fire rubber bullet as they chase protestors in the streets of Johannesburg, on April 23, 2019 during a protest against the lack of service delivery or basic necessities such as access to water and electricity, housing difficulties and lack of public road maintenance. - Police and protesters exchanged volleys of teargas and stones in Johannesburg on April 23, 2019 after a suburb erupted into protest over public services ahead of polls on May 8. Dozens of residents in the working class Turffontein suburb blocked the main road through ward 55, burning tyres, mattresses and tree branches over allegedly unfair allocation of nearby new social housing.
