The situation in Vuwani has returned to normal - at least for the time being.
According to a press release by the Pro-Makhado Task Team, further protests and last week's shutdown has been suspended in the run-up to the Easter weekend.
"We've decided to lift this shutdown for this period, from now until the 17th when we'll be meeting with all villages and affected communities," said the task team's Mr Arnold Mulaudzi. He added that the team is determined to seek permission for a scheduled mass community gathering at the Nandoni Sports Ground to "pave the way forward" before then.
Last week's shutdown of services lasted for six days, during which time a school was set alight.
The Vuwani community is still upset with a recent decision by the Municipal Demarcation Board that rejected all submissions made by the traditional leaders to reconsider the municipal boundaries in the area.
