News24 reports that eight SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) affliated employees were arrested for public violence during a protest over salaries on the N1 on Tuesday afternoon.
Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said the three men and five women were part of a group protesting on the N1 South at the Olifantsfontein on-ramp in Midrand. They obstructed traffic and threw stones. Officers had to fire rubber bullets to disperse them. In the morning, a group of about 100 Sanral employees blocked the northbound part of the highway, causing a severe traffic jam.
