Introduce your topic by defining service delivery protests in your own words.

Service delivery protests are public demonstrations or actions by a group of people in response to inadequate or poor delivery of essential services by government or public authorities. These protests are typically aimed at drawing attention to the lack of basic services such as water, electricity, housing, education, and healthcare in a particular community or area. Participants in service delivery protests often demand immediate action or resolution from authorities to address their grievances and improve the quality of services provided to them.
