Protest action has led to the closure of the N-2 highway in to Cape Town this morning.

It is not yet clear whether the burning tyres placed on the highway near Nyanga are linked to service delivery complaints or the current spate of strikes.

The protest caused a huge traffic obstruction.

Police and traffic law enforcement members are trying to remove the barricades.

Motorists have been advised to make use of alternative routes.
