Provincial Traffic spokesperson Jandre Bakker says the trucks are currently neither on the road nor interfering with traffic in the area.

The National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) indicated that it has mobilised all its resources to ensure measures are in place to prevent any form of lawlessness during the strike.
