The police are on heightened alert.
about 1 hour ago
The R40 between Shatale and Accornhoek is currently closed due to a protest underway at Rainbow in Bushbuckridge.
According to information from the Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison, it is alleged that the protesters have blockaded the road with a burned-out truck.
Motorists using that road are urged to explore alternative routes.

Re: Bushbuckridge Protests
I don't know if it is right that a small group of persons can block a busy national road for their personal claims We are never told, why they are doing it. Maybe it is the only way they have to be heard

Re: Bushbuckridge Protests
It seems to be a weird way of voting.
