The lockdown aimed at slowing the coronavirus infections kicks in in a few hours time.
Newswatch visited several long-distance taxi and bus ranks and spoke to a number of commuters travelling to areas including Jozini, Mandeni and Ndwedwe.
"I sell beadwork and such items in Ndwedwe which I buy in Durban. That's how I survive. I do not know how I will manage as my children only send money once a month so I can buy those onions and tomatoes to eat, and bread. I don't know how I'll survive over this period" said one commuter.

Another commuter said: "We had to stop coming to work just like that. Now we hear that we might not even get paid for the time we will be sitting at home."
