Between January and June 2024, 122 service delivery protests took place in South Africa. Since 2008, the number of protests has fluctuated but overall shown an increasing trend. In the period under review, the number of protests reached a peak of 237 in 2017. This was largely due to then President Jacob Zuma performing a controversial reshuffle of cabinet ministers.
