Emergency personnel were on the scene of this morning's accident, which added to the chaos of Makro's Black Friday specials.
POLOKWANE – What motorists thought was a serious accident on the corner of Vermikuliet Street this morning, causing serious delays from all sides, actually turned out to be traffic to Makro for their Black Friday specials, which started today.
There was an accident, however, involving two light duty motor vehicles.
Motorists are advised that traffic is backed up both ways on Landdros Marè Street, from Coke’s side as well as the Tom Naudè Bridge. Vermikuliet Street is also backed up with people trying to get to Makro.
