Johannesburg – Traffic will be diverted at the southern entrance of Melrose Arch, at Atholl Oaklands road, on Thursday for a protest by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), Johannesburg metro police said.
“Atholl Oaklands road will be completely closed to traffic from the M1 freeway to Kernick avenue from 09:00 to 14:00,” chief superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.
“Motorists can use Oxford road as an alternative route for today. Officers have been deployed to monitor the protest and to guide traffic.”
Amcu was expected to hand over a memorandum at Lonmin offices in Melrose Arch.
The protests would expand to Parliament after the Easter holidays if the union’s demands were not met.
