Spokesperson Zinhle Mngomezulu says there is a major backlog of vehicles that now needs to clear.
"Two trucks that were torched, I believe they used a petrol bomb. The vehicles caught alight and due to high flames, the freeway had to be closed for several hours," explained Mngomezulu.
She says the drivers managed to abandon their vehicles and escape the scene.
"We have since opened one lane, we had been diverting traffic for almost six hours."
