Several Cape road closures for Arch's funeral

Several roads in Cape Town CBD will be closed between Thursday and Saturday, due to the funeral service for the late Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu.

A number of roads including Wale and Adderley Streets will be closed until Saturday afternoon.

Furthermore, the City of Cape Town said that the Company’s Garden will be closed on New Year’s Day, due to the funeral service.

‘’Motorists are advised to please find alternative routes during this time, or to avoid the St. George’s Cathedral precinct entirely, if possible. The City apologises for any inconvenience this may cause,’’ it said in a statement.

A public viewing area for the funeral service will be set up on the Grand Parade.

‘’While there are no planned road closures in this area, it is subject to change, depending on the turnout,’’ the City added.
