North Coast Road near Rinaldo Road is gridlocked following protest action that has rocked the Avoca and Effingham areas since 2am this morning.
Greewood Park police said they are currently converging at the Mtambo Road Informal Settlement. Traffic on North Coast Road has come to a standstill in both directions.
According to Ward 34 councillor, Deochand Ganesh, the protesters are informal settlement dwellers who are demanding houses.
