Motorists travelling between Machadodorp and Mbombela are urged to make use of the Schoemanskloof Road as the N4 near Elands Valley has been reduced to a stop-and-go following a bus fire earlier today.

Although no injuries were recorded in the incident, the fire caused significant congestion and delays along the route.
