On Monday, members of the Durban Long Distance Taxi Association protested along the same route over permit issues.
The group's Bhekisisa Nzuza told Newswatch that they had nothing to do with Tuesday's closure.
"The taxi strike is still on, we haven't picked up anyone from any of the ranks. All the drivers who make long routes are all involved in the striking, including routes to Mpumalanga, Secunda, QwaQwa, Ficksburg, Shai Shai, Mozambique and even eSwatini."
