Roads around Bethal still obstructed
BETHAL – Protesters were burning objects and blocking roads through the night on the R38 towards Standerton, as well as the R35 towards Morgenzon.
A truck was set alight on the R35 during the night which is being towed away this morning.
Although protesters are not actively busy, the road is not clear enough and safe to drive through.
A car that did pass through, is now stranded with two flat tyres.
Schools in Bethal will be open today.
eMzinoni uproar might continue – motorists must avoid certain roads
