Traffic warning: These Tshwane roads will be closed or at a standstill on Friday
Motorists have been urged to exercise patience and restraint.
Pretoria motorists will face significant disruptions on Friday as the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) plans a march against the defunding of students by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The route will be affected by the closure of key roads, including Struben Street, Sophie De Bruyn Street, Francis Baard Street, and surrounding arteries.
The Tshwane Metro Police Department has confirmed that officers will be deployed to maintain order during the march, which is expected to disperse at 1pm. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes such as Boom Street, E’skia Mphahlele Drive, Nana Sita Street, Visagie Street, Bloed Street, Bosman Street, and Thabo Sehume Street to avoid heavy congestion and delays.
Additionally, Tshwane Metro Police Department has issued a media alert regarding the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) 2026 exhibition, which will take place at Air Force Base Waterkloof from 17 to 20 September. This event will result in daily road closures around Centurion from 4am to 4pm each day, with alternative routes provided to manage the influx of visitors and ensure public safety.
