This comes after an army tanker broke down on the carriageway closing off three lanes.

The recovery of the tanker, a Rooikat, is underway.

*The Rooikat is a South African armoured reconnaissance vehicle equipped with a stabilised 76mm high velocity gun for organic anti-tank and fire support purposes.
