  "account": "On Saturday, September 5, road closures will commence around the FNB Stadium precinct at 11am. Vehicles entering the area are required to possess pre-booked parking tickets, as no tickets will be available for purchase on-site. Spectators are strongly encouraged to utilize public transport alternatives such as Park-and-Ride SA, Rea Vaya, Gautrain, and e-hailing services. E-hailing pick-ups and drop-offs will be facilitated at the Landbou Road Transport Hub. Among the significant traffic modifications, Soweto Highway will be limited to buses only, while Crownwood Road and Booysens Reserve will be closed off. Post-match, Nasrec Road will transform into a four-lane, one-way road to facilitate smoother traffic flow. Motorists who are not attending the event are advised to circumvent the precinct and utilize the N1, M1, N12, or Main Reef Road instead. Spectators are urged to plan their journeys in advance, load their digital tickets prior to arrival, and adhere to the guidance of traffic officials.",
