Marking a commemorable day in history, celebrating our countries rich history. Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of our former president, Nelson Mandela. Mandela gave his first speech in the Cape Town City Hall. Quite a busy day in the Mother City with regards to traffic. Traffic might be a bit of a nightmare.

Here is a list of road closures according to the Cape Town traffic department:

  • Darling Street and surrounds will have traffic restrictions in place from 01:00 on Monday, 10 February until 22:00 on Tuesday, 11 February 2020.
