The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) wishes to inform motorists and the public of an immediate road closure in the Johannesburg CBD. This is to facilitate a high-visibility, multi-disciplinary law enforcement and service delivery operation.
• Affected Street: Von Wielligh Street
• Extent: Between Rahima Moosa Street (formerly Jeppe Street) and Pritchard Street
• Duration: Effective immediately until the operation is concluded.
The Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Councillor Dada Morero, is currently leading a strategic "blitz" at the Marble Towers precinct. The Mayor is joined by the JMPD Chief of Police to command a diverse team of law enforcement and governmental agencies.
JMPD officers are stationed at key intersections to divert traffic and ensure the safety of pedestrians and personnel on the ground.
Motorists are advised to avoid Von Wielligh Street between Rahima Moosa and Pritchard Streets. Expect heavy delays in the inner city and use alternative north-south routes, such as Troye Street or Delvers Street, where possible.
The City of Johannesburg remains committed to bringing back law and order. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this essential service delivery exercise.
