Johannesburg metro police have advised people to avoid the CBD on Wednesday due to a march by public service workers.
"We advise people who don't need to be there to avoid the CBD especially from 10am... they will start marching from noon," said metro police spokesperson Inspector Edna Mamonyane.
Traffic in the CBD would be affected, she said.
She said a large number of people were expected to gather at the corner of Nugget and Marshall streets at around 10am. The group would march up Commissioner Street and turn into Simmonds Street where they would hand over a memorandum at the offices of Gauteng premier Mbhazima Shilowa.

They would then proceed into Market Street and return to the corner of Nugget and Marshall Streets.
Mamonyane said metro police and the SA police would be in the area to ensure that the march proceeded peacefully.
"We also advise businesses along the route to try to close from 10am to 4pm," she said. - Sapa
