Risha MadurayThe entrance to the Helen Joseph Hospital in Johannesburg has been blocked by protesters. Motorists have been urged to avoid Perth Road as it is also affecting traffic in Westdene and Westbury.
JMPD Spokesperson Xolani Fihla says, “The situation is calm at the moment besides the traffic disruption and road closure. Officers have been deployed. Expect delays on the main road joining Perth Road as vehicles are being diverted from the road closure. Motorists are advised to exercise caution. Make use of alternative routes.”A number of organisations and political parties intend to legally challenge the proposed amendments.
Adams says, “This is the last straw in our communities, it has broken the camel’s back with the Employment Equity Act that the president signed in April, which is putting a lot of pressure on the employment of our people, especially the coloured people.”
