notes: On 18 October 2020, about 200 demonstrators barricaded the R708 between Hertzogville (Lejweleputswa, Free State) and Christiana with burning tires, tanks and other things, that led to thousands of hectares of farmland being destroyed due to the burning objects leading to run away fires. The demonstration was over a lack of water. Police arrested more than 17 people for public violence. [size=about 200]
