The maps below from the Department of Human Settlement’s 'Spatial Viewer on Protest Actions (SPAVOPA)' indicate that the GCR is a hub of housing and service delivery protests, with over 80 protests within a five year period, most of which were peaceful and indicate a high degree of social cohesion and organisation; but some of which resulted in damage to infrastructure, violence and arrests. |

The grievances that drove these protests reportedly included the lack of information about or participation in decision-making, as well as perceived local government corruption and nepotism, inefficiency, shoddy workmanship and incomplete work on housing projects, combined with (or inflated by) raised expectations from political campaigning.
