So is the increase in the cost of living these days you’ve got to take every opportunity you can get, right? However, EMPD officers soon brought the scene under control. The police are now urging motorists travelling to Pretoria to approach the scene with caution. Likewise, they ask anyone to use an alternative route if possible, as the R21 is down to just one lane slick currentl
