Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Road traffic on the N4 highway between Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, and Maputo resumed on Friday afternoon after violent protests, a source at the South African concessionaire has said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe protests took place in the Witbank [now eMalahleni] area, far from the border [with Mozambique],\u201d Solange Soares, spokesperson for Trans African Concessions (TRAC), the N4 concessionaire, told Lusa on Friday. \u201cThey started on Tuesday, but today (Friday, 12-05) there were no protests, so we cleared the road \u2013 because there was a lot of damage after four days of protests \u2013 and the road is now open.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone coming from Mozambique to Witbank will not experience any problem,\u201d she advised, adding that the concessionaire was assessing the damage caused by the protests, allegedly against the provincial government of Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n

Violent protests by local communities, who set fire to vehicles, began last Tuesday as a result of lack of water and electricity for five consecutive days, with the N4 being affected in the eMalahleni area, about 320 kilometres from the border with Mozambique, Soares told Lusa.<\/p>\n

The N4 highway connects Pretoria to the port of Maputo in the Mozambican capital, a distance of 570 kilometres, and is also an essential link between South Africa and other neighbouring countries such as Eswatini and Botswana.<\/p>\n
