notes: On 19 July 2020, a community leader in Nkandla near Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay, Eastern Cape) was shot and injured during clashes between community members from Nkandla and Endlovini. The clashes began last week when Nkandla residents tried to remove illegal electricity connections from municipal electricity poles (coded separately). They claimed that they had no electricity for two days and these illegal connections were damaging their appliances and affecting the supply of their electricity. [size=no report]
