Incidents were reported in Umgeni Road, Alpine Road in Overport and on the M4 between uMhlanga and Ballito, the city centre, Che Guevara Avenue and Spine Road, near The Pavilion.
Trucks were parked across the N2 at Umgababa on the South Coast where tar was dumped on the road and the John Ross Highway, near Richards Bay. At an informal settlement on a hill above Alpine Road in Springfield, residents had a bird’s eye view of a burning blockade that a metro police armoured Casspir vehicle pushed away from the road.“Several vehicles were reportedly stoned and millions worth of public infrastructure damaged, resulting in many commuters not being able to reach their places of work,” read a statement issued by the province.
Zikalala also reminded people about Covid-19, cautioning them on the impact of illegal gatherings under lockdown level 4 and the rise in Covid-19 infections.
