Johannesburg - Traffic is flowing freely again on the R55 in Pretoria West after protesters blocked the road earlier on Monday, Gauteng police said.

Residents of Mooiplaas informal settlement blocked the road with burning tyres and rocks, said Lt-Col Katlego Mogale.

“Police are now monitoring the situation in the area. No arrests have been made yet,” said Mogale.

The protest was believed to have been related to service delivery grievances.
