Three people were injured in protests by striking truck drivers in Ekurhuleni, east of Johannesburg, on Thursday morning, metro police said. "We are on high alert with our officers. We are patrolling railway stations, bridges over freeways and we are patrolling industrial sites," said Mokheseng. "We are working with the SA Police Service, because we noticed yesterday [Wednesday] we had our hands full. ""Up to now we can say three people [have] sustained injuries following truck protests around 07:00," said Inspector Kobeli Mokheseng.
"There were calls coming in on Thursday morning that on the R21 to Pretoria, one light delivery vehicle was burned, and truckers stoned two trucks." He said the R21 north to Pretoria, opposite OR Tambo International Airport, was closed. "The R24 is affected going east and, if you are on the R21 going towards Pretoria, it is affected up to Griffiths Road off-ramp," said Mokheseng. "We are diverting traffic from East Rand Mall heading to Pretoria and... directing it on to the Griffiths Road off-ramp." Traffic on the R24 was also being redirected from Barbara Road.
