There is major congestion on the N3 at the Mariannhill Toll Plaza, near Pinetown.

Authorities say only one lane is open in both directions, that is heading towards and away from Durban.

Strike action at the Tongaat toll also saw slow moving traffic on the N2, north of Durban. However, authorities have managed to clear the roadway there.

Reports of protest action were also received at Mtunzini. Traffic heading north towards Richards Bay is affected.

It is not yet clear what the protestors are unhappy about.

This is a developing story.
