With the lockdown only a few hours away, hundreds of people are ready to leave Gauteng and head home to different provinces.

Long distance commuters make their way to park station as they prepare to leave before the nationwide lockdown on Wednesday.Commuters travelling long distance have been warned that the last taxi travelling will be at 7pm on Thursday before the nationwide lockdown takes effect.

“There is no one coming to Johannesburg from the Eastern Cape, everyone is going to the Eastern Cape,” Maleki said. Maleki, who has employed 32 drivers, said the lockdown would have a negative effect on them as it would be no work, no pay for him and his staff.“During the lockdown, I will be sitting at home with my family. The advantage is that I will be bonding with my family because I am mostly away,” he said.
