Ethekwini Metro Police say roads, including Margaret Mncadi Avenue (the old Victoria Embankment), outside the Durban High Court will be closed on Friday when former President Jacob Zuma appears in court.
Traffic is also expected to be disrupted by a pro-Zuma march which will start at King Dinuzulu Park.
The march is to proceed along Dr Pixley ka Seme Street (West Street) and proceed to Yusuf Dadoo (Broad Street). The marchers will then assemble opposite the High Court.
Road closures will be put in place from 6 in the morning.
Metro police media liaison officer Glen Ndlovu has urged motorists to avoid roads in the court vicinity to avoid delays.
“The public are urged to treat Margaret Mncadi as being closed both directions between Joe Slovo and Russel Street, because the marchers, supporters of Mr Zuma will be accommodated on the grassy area opposite the court.”
“The march will be policed by Metro Police personnel and SAPS public policing unit. The march itself is scheduled to leave at 8 o’clock in the morning at King Dinizulu and then proceed along Dr Picley ka Seme,” says Nldovu.
