There will be road closures; Voortrekker main road (left-hand lane in the direction of Parow), between Townsend and Church street, Merriman road and McDonald street around the Goodwood civic centre and all link-ups to Voortrekker Road.

MacDonald says that motorists should find alternative routes between the hours of 09:00 and 14:00 on the day of the parade.
