Traffic was disrupted on the M1 north, leaving Sandton in Johannesburg, due to a protest by e-hailing drivers on Wednesday afternoon.
the department received reports of e-hailing operators protesting in a drive-slow motorcade on the M1 north and N1 south.
“The protesting drivers were travelling on the M1 north, off-ramping at the Buccleuch interchange to join the N1 south. They then off-ramped at William Nicol Drive and are at Nicol and Lesley Avenue,” he said. The reason for the protest has not yet been determined, but officers have been deployed to monitor it.“It's drivers who were going to take cars from Moove, a partner to Uber. They are drivers affiliated to the Moove contract giving out rental cars,” he said.
