A group of protesting residents blocked off Beyers Naude drive near Honey in the north-west of Johannesburg on Wednesday morning, metro police said.
“Motorists are advised to avoid the area as there are officers present and the road had to be blocked off,” Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar told S.
The protest started shortly before 6am and the residents were throwing stones and burning tyres on Beyers Naude drive and Peter road.
Details about the protest were not yet available, but a large contingent of police were at the scene at about 6.30am. - Sapa
