JMPD warns of major traffic disruptions as close to 10,000 expected to protest on June 30

The JMPD says motorists should expect significant delays as three approved marches involving thousands of participants are set to take place across the city on June 30.

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) has warned motorists to brace for major traffic disruptions on June 30, as three approved protests involving nearly 10,000 participants, including March and March protesters, are expected to take place across the city.

The metro police urged motorists, commuters and members of the public to expect significant delays on Tuesday.

JMPD spokesperson Superintendent Xolani Fihla said three legally approved marches will take place concurrently in the Johannesburg inner city, Hillbrow and Midrand (Glen Austin) areas.

Fihla said integrated law enforcement teams, including JMPD and SAPS Public Order Policing, will be deployed across the city to monitor routes, manage traffic and maintain public safety.
