ALERT: Service delivery protests result in Eastbound closures on N4

The N4 Eastbound lanes at the Sunbury intersection at Emakhazeni has been closed due to protest action.

The road-patrol WhatsApp group have meanwhile warned that protestors could move to other locations at any time.

The community is protesting against a severe lack of municipal services.

Residents say that the municipality often leave large areas without electricity and water, without warning.

Apart from service delivery interruptions, residents also struggle to get hold of the municipality to report problems.

Middelburg Observer can vouch that municipal phone lines are down.

When alternative numbers are supplied, they just ring without being answered.

Motorists should approach the area with caution while contraflow conditions persist.
