Motorists urged to be cautious at protest-hit Ottawa intersection
The 200 protestors that brought traffic to a standstill at the Ottawa intersection north of Durban have peacefully dispersed.
But Durban Metro Police say some demonstrators are still standing on the side of the road.
They took to the R102, early on Friday morning, with placards in hand demanding the restoration of water and electricity services.
Durban metro police spokesperson Parboo Sewpersad says members of the Public Order Policing Unit are on the scene.
