South Africa: 'We drink condoms and panties'

Police arrested ten people who were part of a large group of protesters blocking the N4 highway linking South Africa and Botswana earlier this month. Residents of the tiny village of Ntsweletsoku were so angry about the persistent water shortages in their area that they resorted to violent demonstrations to attract the attention of the authorities. Ntsweletsoku is part of the arid Lehurutse area in South Africa’s North West Province close to the border with Botswana.
