On Youth Day, drivers lined up their trucks on the N3, blocking the roadway between Durban and Johannesburg.


This was allegedly in protest against the employment of foreigners.

They then abandoned their vehicles, taking with them their keys, meaning the trucks later had to be towed away.


The men aged between 40 and 59 were arrested at the scene.


"The matter was not enrolled due to insufficient evidence," says the NPA's Natasha Kara.
