Eastern Cape, 1 December 2023: Blasting operations are planned for Tuesday 5 December 2023, Thursday 7 December 2023 and Monday 11 December 2023, all at 14h00. The blasting operation will take place on sections 13 and 14 of the N2 between Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) and Fish River.

- • From East London, follow the R72 to Port Alfred and Kenton on Sea through to Nanaga and turn left onto the N2 and continue on to Gqeberha.
Motorists travelling eastwards between Gqeberha and eQonce or East London may consider using the following alternative route:
