JOHANNESBURG - Traffic is heavily congested on the N12 west before the Diepkloof interchange in Johannesburg due to a cash-in-transit robbery.
A few people reported hearing gunshots and an explosion.
This eyewitness was there: We were driving along the N12, we d just passed Southgate, when suddenly everyone had stopped. And then, after about a minute or so, we could hear gunshots, we could see something exploded with debris flying in the sky. We couldn t see exactly what was happening and then everyone started making U-turns. eventually, everyone on the highway was driving east on the westward side of the highway.
