Durban Metro Police spokesperson Superintendent Parboo Sewpersadh says rolling road closures will be used to ensure routes are reopened as the parade passes through.
He said road closures are expected to be in place until midday around the city hall.
Sewpersadh says traffic congestion has been eased by the presence of points-men at busy intersections.
He was aware that the mini-bus and People Mover bus service was disrupted because of the diversion of traffic from the main street.
