KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC Siboniso Duma says the province remained largely peaceful during Tuesday’s nationwide anti-illegal immigration protests, with no major disruptions recorded across key transport corridors, despite heightened security operations.
Duma said provincial teams had been on duty from the early hours of the morning, monitoring key routes including the N3, N2 and other major corridors to ensure stability and the free flow of traffic.
“Some of us have been up since four o’clock,” he said, adding that operations began in Mooi River where teams from the Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) and the taxi unit were deployed to monitor movement across the province.
He said most districts experienced normal operations throughout the day, with only isolated incidents reported in Mariannhill and Cato Manor, which were swiftly contained by authorities.
