This motorist was stuck on the route when protestors blocked the busy freeway this morning.   

According to the Delangokubona Business forum, DSW has not paid its subcontractors for three months, which resulted in the protest.

At this stage, it is believed that 15 business forums are taking part in the protest.

The motorist says authorities made it to the scene moments ago.

The municipality has not yet responded to a request for comment.
