The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) wishes to provide an updated traffic advisory to all motorists regarding the earlier protest disruptions in the Diepkloof area.
Integrated law enforcement officials, including JMPD, Gauteng Traffic Police and South African Police Service (SAPS) Public Order Policing units, have been deployed to the area to manage the situation and restore order.
N12 Freeway (Eastbound at Diepkloof Interchange) is now open to traffic, and normal vehicular flow has resumed.
Chris Hani Road (between Collinder Road & N12 Exit) Law enforcement officers are currently clearing debris from the roadway to allow for safe traffic movement.
Although routes are reopening, motorists travelling through the Diepkloof Interchange and along Chris Hani Road are strongly urged to remain vigilant and proceed with care.
Motorists should watch for any residual debris, rocks, or obstructions near the Diepkloof Hostel precinct and expect temporary traffic slowdowns as flow normalizes.
Law enforcement teams will remain present and heavily deployed on the ground to monitor the situation, prevent potential flare-ups, and ensure the safety of all road users.
Motorists are advised to strictly comply with all directions given by traffic officers stationed in the area.
