Daily News reports that Durban motorists had to use alternative routes during peak traffic on Friday after protesters blocked off the M27 link road between Verulam, Umdloti and Umhlanga with burning tree logs, debris and tyres.
Ward councillor Johnson Chetty said residents had taken to the streets because they wanted job opportunities from construction sites near Sibaya Casino. He indicated that several meetings had been facilitated with the construction companies and job seekers in the past few weeks. Residents had been made aware of the employment practices and were informed of the developer's intention to address the imbalances and involve them in the projects.
