“This has caused major congestion and unlawful parking outside Southway Mall and in the vicinity of the testing centre. Due to the current pandemic and with social distancing regulations in place, restrictions has been placed on organisations to limit the amount of people entering a building at any given time resulting in long queues and traffic congestion,” explained Pillay.
