Freeway Shutdown 25th April ??????

[svw 10]

Is this a hoax or not?

 

If not, does anyone have a suggestion for me which will be the best alternative route to take? I have to be in Sandton at 12pm usually it only takes 3 hours from Polokwane but if the highways are shutdown? I was wondering if I take the R101 from Pretoria North and then get onto the N14 and then cut through the R511 getting to Sandton that way OR if that is going to be jampacked do I branch off at Pretoria go the very long way round via Hartebeespoort Dam getting onto the R511 from there - longer in distance but shorter in time? ..................... H E L P !:cry:

I really hope it is a hoax as I have to travel from Alberton for a 9am appointment at Clearwater Mall, then on to North Riding for 11h30, Boksburg at 13h00........anyway.

Thanks - much appreciated Lily!

 

No shutdown today it was a hoax as I thought .... thankgoodness - but was listening to the radio driving back this evening and they were interviewing a chap from Cosatu and on Monday the 30th they will be driving vehicles on the highway very, very slowly - they know it is illegal but as he said who cares - it shouldn't affect traffic much anyway as a lot of people have taken that day off as the Tuesday is a holiday. I tend to agree - these toll roads are going to be an absolute nightmare!!!!!!
