Watch: Protesters set tyres alight on Durban N2
The new work week has gotten off to a chaotic start for motorists in Durban this morning. Check out pictures and videos sent in by motorists of the protest action here.
Several key routes have been closed as a result of protests in the the city.
Metro Police say the M25 KwaMashu Highway is closed to traffic from Malandela Road towards Bridge City.
The M19 between Westville and the Quarry Road bridge has been closed in both directions.
In parts of Durban North, protestors are burning tyres in Chris Hani Road - formerly North Coast Road and Sea Cow Lake Road.
The N2 between Queen Nandi Drive and Inanda Road has been re-opened, while motorists can also use the R102 in the Hambanathi area - near Tongaat Home Affairs again.
eThekwini says the disruptions - especially in KwaMashu, north of Durban - appear to be political in nature.
