G20 SUMMIT DAY 2: CRITICAL ROAD CLOSURES Today is the final day of the summit, meaning high-volume VIP movements are expected as delegates depart. The rolling closures are active, and motorists are advised that highways and main arterials will be completely closed intermittently to allow convoys to pass. This causes sudden, standstill traffic for 30–60 minutes at a time. The most critical times for these closures today are: * Morning: 07:00 – 10:00 * Evening: 15:00 – 20:00 We can confirm that specific closures will be in effect for today, Sunday: * Nasrec Precinct (Summit Venue): * Nasrec Road: Closed between Rand Show Road and Shaft 17 Road. * Rand Show Road: Northern portion closed between the N1 and Nasrec Road. * Golden Highway: Closed between Rand Show Road and Soweto Highway. * Booysens Reserve Road: Closed near Crownwood Road. Sandton and Rosebank: Expect disruptions on Grayston Drive, Rivonia Road, Maude Street, Oxford Road, and Jan Smuts Avenue as dignitaries move between their accommodations. Weather services have issued warnings for severe thunderstorms in the Gauteng region today. The combination of slippery roads, poor visibility, and heavy G20 congestion significantly increases the risk of accidents. We urge drivers to maintain a safe following distance and keep their headlights on at all times. As of this morning, no new massive highway blockages have been reported, but the network is extremely fragile. Any minor accident will cause gridlock due to the existing G20 pressure. Motorists are advised to avoid the highways (N1, M1, N12, R21, R24) if possible, and they can use alternatives such as: * Roodepoort: Use Beyers Naudé Drive, Christiaan De Wet, or Ontdekkers Roads. * Sandton/North: Use smaller side streets parallel to Rivonia/Oxford (though these will still be busy). * South: Use Chris Hani Road, Main Reef Road, or Soweto Highway, (where open) to bypass the Nasrec lockdown.

Goods were confiscated!!! #NomakanjaniManjeNamhlanje #JoburgByLaws
