notes: On 17 July 2020, community members from Endlovini and Nkandla near Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay, Eastern Cape) threw stones at each other over electricity issues. The clashes had began the previous 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. Four informal houses were destroyed.
