RATANDA - The funeral service of the two men killed during water protests in Ratanda in Heidelberg is underway.
23-year-old Katleho Moloi-Mokoena was hit with at least three rubber bullets during the protest.
Sipho Motaung was killed while sitting with friends celebrating a birthday party.
Police watchdog, IPID, is now investigating the circumstances behind the deaths.
Residents took to the streets over water outages due to municipal debt.
Supply was cut off because the Lesedi Local Municipality had accumulated a R27 million debt to Rand Water.
The problems for that council are far from over, as they are on Treasury's list to have funds frozen.
