The N3 Toll Concession says a single lane has been opened on the N3 highway to allow traffic to flow towards Gauteng after major blockages caused by striking truck drivers on Tuesday.

“Following the total closure of the N3 Toll Route by trucks in the vicinity of Montrose since shortly before midnight last night, the SAPS with the support of emergency towing services has begun to remove the stationary vehicles that have been blockading the road.“A single lane has been reopened to northbound traffic travelling towards Gauteng, and similarly, one lane on the southbound carriageway is expected to be reopened shortly,” said the N3TC on Tuesday.

Free State police spokesperson Brigadier Motantsi Makhele said police were still busy at the scene and could not offer details of the arrests as yet.

How can u strike for a job when u already have job. Wake up Africans. Did Mbalula hire them. They are being played. Let me ask this: 1. Who hired the foreigners? 2. Who buy from the foreigners? 3. Who sleep with the foreigners? 4. Who sell the IDs to the foreigners? I'm not fighting I'm just asking
