The protesters, who were largely youths, threw stones at the security operatives, causing heavy traffic build-up on the expressway and forcing motorists to look for alternatives. In the process of shooting into the air, an artisan opposite the Shoprite mall was gunned down and immediately rushed to an undisclosed hospital.
