Acornhoek - A 15-year-old boy was shot dead, allegedly by police, during a service delivery protest between Acornhoek and Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga.
Lucas Lebyane was shot on Thursday, when protesters from Casteel village blockaded the R40 with rocks and burning tyres demanding that the Bushbuckridge local municipality provide them with water, a Sapa correspondent reported on Friday.
Another boy from the village was shot in the leg, but was not hospitalised.
