The N1 road in the far north was reportedly closed to visitors to the site due to the explosion of a fuel tanker on the Gordon Road Mara Maraisburg exit.
According to Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Kholani Fihla, who said that the highway unit of the EMS city of Johannesburg was at the scene.
Fihla added that the southern border had previously been closed as a security precaution, but has now reopened to allow site visitors to circulate.
“Drivers are advised to avoid the N1 road in the north-north via Gordon; they can use the Maraisburg exit as an alternative.”
