Roads across Nelson Mandela Bay were blocked early on Tuesday morning, reportedly linked to a widespread taxi strike.
Reports of burning tyres on a number of busy roads, and isolated incidents of vehicles being pelted with stones, started circulating from as early as 5am.
“At this stage the reason for the strike has not officially been communicated to any authorities, but we believe it is related to disputes within the taxi industry,” a police official said.
