Klippe is ook na verbygaande motors op die pad geslinger. Die polisie is op die toneel waar die klippe reeds uit die pad verwyder is, en verkeer nou weer stadig begin vloei.
Afriforum se Dullstroom Buurtwag maan motoriste om steeds versigtig te wees en voorvalle waar klippe, of ander skadelike items op die pad teëgekom word, dadelik te rapporteer.
Boonop is die pad baie mistig, word gewaarsku.
Die pad kan moontlik weer gesluit word sê Afriforum wat saam met die polisie op die toneel is.
Motoriste wat eerder die roete wil vermy, kan die alternatiewe R36 Bambi-pad of die R577 Roossenekal-pad gebruik.
• Daar is ook steeds voorvalle waar staalepenne deur kriminele op die N4 gegooi word, om motors tot stilstand te bring. Die polisie kon daarin slaag om een van die peste te arresteer, maar hulle werk beslis in bendes, word gewaarsku.
•By die Middelburg Mall se westelike ingang versper taxis die pad en by Middelburg Myn is daar ’n groot optog en die pad is versper.
Daar is nou net laat weet al die ingange by die Mall is nou geblok.

Notice: Coronavirus reporting at Caxton Local Media aims to combat fake news
Dear reader,
As your local news provider, we have the duty of keeping you factually informed on Covid-19 developments. As you may have noticed, mis- and disinformation (also known as “fake news”) is circulating online.
Caxton Local Media is determined to filter through the masses of information doing the rounds and to separate truth from untruth in order to keep you adequately informed. Local newsrooms follow a strict pre-publication fact-checking protocol.
A national task team has been established to assist in bringing you credible news reports on Covid-19. Readers with any comments or queries may contact National Group Editor Irma Green (irma@caxton.co.za) or Legal Adviser Helene Eloff (helene@caxton.co.za).
At Caxton, every story is written by humans. We use AI only to perform quality checks - never to generate the news. Happy reading!
I have been a journalist for two decades, with numerous awards to my credit, both in photography and writing. A brief stint as researcher in the opposition offices of the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature, honed my skills as specialist local government reporter, covering crime and courts.
