"I was scared for my life when I was driving through this. I didn't know if there will be a rock that would hit me. You don't know how people will react when you are going pass. They are very angry."
Metro police spokesperson, Boysie Zungu says Ntuzuma and Kwamashu's Nyala Road have been affected.
"Our services are on board - Metro Police, SAPS and other emergency services. Everything is under control."
