Defining service delivery protest

A service delivery protest refers to a demonstration or act of civil disobedience by individuals or groups who are dissatisfied with the quality or accessibility of public services provided by the government. These protests typically address issues such as poor healthcare, education, housing, sanitation, or transportation services and are aimed at drawing attention to the needs of marginalized communities and holding government officials accountable for improving service delivery. Protesters may block roads, vandalize public property, or engage in other forms of activism to bring attention to their demands.
