WATCH | Motorists warned as protest action disrupts key PMB route
The disruption has led to traffic congestion in surrounding roads as vehicles are rerouted, with delays reported in adjacent areas.
Motorists travelling along Chief Albert Luthuli Street have been forced to divert onto alternative routes after protesters blocked parts of the roadway and began actively redirecting traffic away from the area.
The protesters, who are demonstrating against the municipality, have positioned themselves along key points of the street and are instructing drivers to avoid the affected section.

Law enforcement officials are monitoring the situation, while motorists are being urged to exercise caution, comply with instructions from officers on the scene, and make use of alternative routes where possible.
Authorities say traffic flow will be normalised once the protest disperses, but have not yet indicated how long the disruption is expected to last.
