Wasbank/Elandslaagte road closed following protests
Motorists should use alternative routes
Motorists have been warned to avoid the Wasbank/Elandslaagte road following a series of protests that blocked the road.
Burning tyres were dragged across the road last night (Saturday0 and several cars stoned by protesters. This morning motorists reported that logs were also dragged on the road and an attempt was made to dig a trench in the road.
It is unclear what sparked the latest protest.
In December, similar protests by residents in the Busi blocked the road after a protest against the lack of water in the area. The area falls under the jurisdiction of the uThukela District Municipality.
Some motorists have had to turn around and travel through Dannhauser to get past the blocked areas. Another alternative route to the N11, is via the Sunset Rest road from Dundee and Glencoe.
