Former Cabinet minister, Jay Naidoo, says that politicians and not the police should be sent to defuse service delivery protests.
 
Speaking at Crime Line's fourth anniversary celebrations in Krugersdorp, Naidoo pointed out that, "Politicians must go and speak to the people. The protest is a failed delivery issue and political in nature."
 
Naidoo said communities get angry when their situations are not improving and they see politicians living the high life. He adds that communities protest when they suspect fraud or corruption.
