Protests cause closure on Golden Highway between Wimbledon and Sheffield Street in Lenasia South and Unaville
12 November 2024 | From Arrive Alive
Motorists are advised to be aware of a closure on Golden Highway between Wimbledon and Sheffield Street in Lenasia South and Unaville due to ongoing protest action.
The roads have been barricaded by residents in response to an illegal water connection operation conducted by Joburg Water, which involved the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) and a private security company.
During the operation, the team was met with hostility and pelted with stones, resulting in damage to three Joburg Water vehicles and one security vehicle. JMPD officers used rubber bullets to disperse the volatile crowd, and the operation was subsequently halted. A case of public violence will be opened at Lenasia South SAPS.
As the Golden Highway is currently blocked from traffic, motorists are advised to exercise caution and consider using alternative routes, such as Wimbledon, Sheffield Street, Drakensburg Road, or the N1 Highway.
