What is the reason for the protest?

Is it possible that 15 persons are allowed to close a road to a famous tourist site?

The protests are for whatever reasons are the order of the day. It is terrorism and culpable homicide, IMO.

Visitors to the Kruger National Park should take note that protests are taking place on the road leading to Numbi Gate.

It is currently (Wednesday August 23) inaccessible due to protests, although the latest reports indicate that the road has been partly cleared at the time of going public.

Guests are advised to use alternative gates such as Phabeni and Paul Kruger to enter or exit the Park until further notice.

The situation is being monitored and this story will be updated as news become available.

its totaly the politicians have tied up the police totaly incapable of stopping this .The other day 2 protestors set a tyre on fire on a major route freeway onramp while 2 police vans with 5 policement sat and watched .Unable to actually walk over and bliksem them and take then to prison as it will infringe their right to protest .Its really a mad situation .In Durban we have the main N2 M7 M19 or N3 blocked every day by a few protestors

And it is often just to play political games.

It is crazy! The consequences will be that certain characters will think that they can get away with anything, if the police let them close a road. that's not a legal protest

Roger and RP, I suppose that you both know that the same text has been posted three or four times not that it matters. You are just making sure that it will be read
