Zuma protests hit the Lowveld

Roads leading to Pienaar, Emoyeni and Hlau Hlau are currently barricaded with burning tyres and rocks.

Commuters using public transport have been left stranded and protesters on the road are threatening motorists. Road users have no option but to find alternative routes to their destinations.

Our journalist, Mbekezeli Mbuli, is on the scene and will bring you updates as the story develops. Motorists are advised to avoid the Pienaar to KaBokweni road.
