Pretoria - The Pretoria city centre is now dysfunctional and people are urged to stay away from the area, said police.

Tshwane Metro Police spokesman Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said various EFF groups were marching in several streets in all directions in the CBD.

People, especially motorists, should avoid the CBD at all costs, he said.

Sunnyside and Arcadia may also be affected by the marchers as there were two groups heading in that direction, Mahamba said. “We urge people to avoid those areas as well.”

He said metro police and SAPS were concerned about the safety of the public, and were thus advising people to stay away from the inner city, Sunnyside and Arcadia.
