Motorists are being urged to avoid Durban’s CBD on Tuesday as road closures and traffic disruptions are expected during the June 30 march against illegal immigration.

The march, organised by the March and March Movement together with civic groups and community formations opposing illegal immigration, is expected to draw participants from across Durban and surrounding areas.

Durban Metro Police said the march will begin at 10am from King Dinuzulu Park before proceeding along Dr Pixley KaSeme Street and Gillespie Street, ending at the SAPS Point Police Station.

Traffic officers and law enforcement personnel will be deployed along the route to manage congestion, maintain public order and assist motorists affected by temporary closures.

Motorists have been advised to plan ahead, use alternative routes where possible and expect delays while the procession is under way.
