VIDEO: Chaos on Middelburg roads as marching protesters collide
Traffic in the Middelburg CBD area was left confused and congested as two groups of protesters marched around town.
The groups of protesters are in conflict over Municipal Manager, Mr Bheki Khenisa and whether he is good for the Steve Tshwete Municipality.
One group of protesters have marched to the municipality to hand over a memorandum demanding that the Municipal Manager stand down.
Wanderers Street was clogged by stick-weilding mobs and the entrance to the municipality is currently closed.
Motorists are warned to avoid using Wanderers Street and exercise caution on Walter Sisulu Street.
The Municipality is currently inaccessible until further notice.
