Western Cape police say protesters’ stoning vehicles on the N2 at Botrivier near Hermanus has resulted in road closures.
Police spokesperson Andre Traut says the cause of the protest is a lack of service delivery.
Traut says law enforcement will remain on the scene.
SAPS and other law enforcement agencies are deployed on the N2 in Botrivier to police a service delivery-related protest action by the local community.
The N2 is currently closed for traffic and alternative routes as suggested by the Traffic Department should be used in the vicinity of the protest.
Traut says, “It has been reported that civilian vehicles have been stoned, and charges of public violence are under investigation. Arrests are yet to be made. Operational forces will remain in the area to maintain law and order until tranquillity has been restored.”
